- 1). Ask your family doctor and pharmacist if they know of any neurologists that they would recommend. Because seizure control is so dependent on medication, pharmacists and neurologists interact a great deal, discussing drug levels and side effects. Pharmacists are minutely aware of which doctors are prescribing the most effective anticonvulsant drug regimens.
- 2). Call each neurologist's office and talk with the doctor's nurse. Explain that you need a doctor who will help you to manage your seizures. If the nurse isn't welcoming and supportive, consider calling the next neurologist.
- 3). Talk to other people who suffer from seizures. Get the names of their neurologists, and call any doctors whose names keep coming up.
- 4). Go to the American Academy of Neurology's Web site (aan.com) to find a neurologist and/or find out more about neurology.
- 5). Log on to Epilepsy.com for Web-based information sharing and discussions.
