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 didn't find it hard to get used to, maybe people around me did.
It didn't control the seizures.
I have to start. Any suggestions?
It is a pool of immunoglobulins (antibodies) from the plasma .

I have Petit Mal seizures. I’m 26. This is most common in children but it stuck with me. I take two medications. Keppra 2000 mg twice a day. Vimpat 150 mg twice a day.
Hello! With insomnia, I stop my commitments if possible and try to be at home and finish my sleep, whatever it costs me. Because I found that one of the causes of my seizures is insomnia.
