I'm on vimpat and Lamictal. still have had seizure on them. nothing is. jus live my life and take em as they come. but I always have an "escape plan" I call it. I plan out as many scenarios as I can, what i feel one coming on, wherr will I pull over, who will I tell, on and on. but I guess it works for me.

Was taking 1500 mg a day till june of this yr was sezuire free for some time till this past may ended up having a break through sezuireand in june , like i already mentioned instructed by my nuerologist to ween off of the tegretol and started me on kepra. I did well for quite some time on tegretol , I wish you the best just keep in mind side effects, which if i am correct is bone loss. May wanna double check with your nuero to make sure. Again best of luck and take care!
