AEDs and Pain killers

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Worcester, UK

I have recently been told by my doctor I have a bladder infection. I have been prescribed with antibiotics to treat it but it does not relieve the pain. Can I take co codamol while taking lamotrigine (lamictal) and levetiracetam (Keppra).

I take ALLEVE or alleve generic and only that. I also sprinkle TUMERIC on my food every meal. It is a natural anti inflammatory and reduces pain. I have recently had diverticulitis and am trying not to have a flare up.

i am a health nut so i take Turmeric and fish oil. Turmeric reduce the pain (and boost any missed sypomes). and fish oil reduces the response and that reduces the pain time. and i take keppra and it is good with some pain pills.
