What Kind of Meds and How Many Seizures?

[krbarrett]

I am sure this has been in a previous post but if anyone/everyone could tell me what kind of medications they are on and how many seizures they have a day/month/year or whatever it may be.  I am going to my neuro next week and I am going to talk to him about other options besides my med I am on.

I am currently on Keppra 2000mg twice a day and 1/2 a tab Ativan at night.  Plus folic acid.  And I have seizures once to twice a month ONLY at night.  My neuro considers this under control and I do not so just wanted to compare with others!

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm on Keppra 2 times per day

Only had 2 seizures.  First one last year, and then a second one a few weeks ago (*after forgetting meds 2 dosages in a row).

What don't you like about the Keppra?  I didn't love it at first, but now am doing better on it, I think.

I am on Tegretol 400 mg morning and 400mg at night. My last seizure was 7 years ago.

It's not that I don't like Keppra it's that I don't think it is working for me.  I am having one to two seizures per month and I take 2000mg of Keppra twice a day.  I have been taking Keppra for about seven years but just in the last three it has gradually gotten worse.

I am taking carbatrol 300mg  twice a day 2 in the morning and 2 at night I have been taking this med for 12 years. And lamectril migraine 200mg for about a year now 1 pill twice a day. I only have seizues around my period so maybe 6 times a month. I was taking Keppra for a while but it didn't stop the seizures and gave me severe depression and weight gain.
