Just Wondering How People Pay For Onfi (clobazam)? Are There Any Coupons Or Discounts That Anyone Knows Of?I'
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor would like me to try this one, but with insurance it still costs $120 per month and I just can't afford it.

Be careful with these seizure drugs. I was watching 20/20. I've left this comment somewhere else on this site. I believe it's Keppra & Vimpat that have cardio vascular side effect issues that… read more

I seemed to work well with taking Vimpant, but with insurance is was $600 a month. Any idea of how to get it cheaper. I was exercising before [[treatment:Keppra:5508b44d6bcd6155dd0008e5]] and am weepy, felling sorry for my self.

Does Anyone Else Have Trouble Getting Your Prescriptions Filled For You Seizure Meds Because Of The Meds Being "rare"?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neurologist has me on Briviact as my primary medication, no generic of course. I call every month to refill and they always have to order... "We'll have it in 1-3 days." This month I called a week early. They still don't have it, but they will get it in tomorrow or the next day. I'm picking up 5 days worth tonight because I'm running out soon. I hate to go through another change of meds, but I think that's what I'll have to do. 😕

Has Anyone Been On Vimpat? If So How Long And Was It Succesful?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve been on Carbotral since i was 8, and trokendi since i was 14-15. I was hospitalized in the past 2 weeks to study my absent seizures off all medications, because i normally have auras only when medicated, until the padt year, ive recently began having absents again also. The doctors tested one medication that was unsuccessful while i was hospitalized, before testing Vimpat over a 24 hour period, and then i was released. I’ve been out for nearly 2 weeks now, and i haven’t had any seizures… read more

Is It True That If 5 Meds Haven't Worked For You, The There's A Low Probability That Any Ever Will,?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have tried 6 meds and considered vns, which is where I first heard this notion that your chances of finding a med that works even minimally drops to 4% after having tried 5 medications for seizures. My neurologist adamantly
disagreed, but I thought 30% of people with epilepsy were considered intractable.
Thanks friends
