Four medications cannot be appropriate for your condition, especially if they aren't working. Your neurologist will most likely just tell you to take more (believe me, I have heard that for a long, long time). You might want to look into neurofeedback and other cool things like meditation.

Medication use depends on the type of seizures you have and what your doctor recommends will help you. I used to take 4 during the day and 3 and night. Everyone is different so the same seizure on 2 individuals will not be the alike and medications will vary from person to person.

My epileptologist believes that there should be no more than three medications into pay close attention to side effects and if it is causing seizures. That has happened to me. We made a deal with time more under control are central nervous system depressants better for me. So he lowered me 220 mg of lamictal and I feel more happy and discovered more emotions. Emotions that I never felt before. I'm talking about 27 years.

IMO………..if you’re taking any more than 3 seizure medications at once. If you’ve tried more than 2 meds & you’re not controlled. Chances are unlikely meds will control your seizures. You might want to look into other treatment options.
Taking more meds can interact with each other causing more side effects. More isn’t always better. 💜

Thank you for this info!! I’m currently on Keppra XR, Vimpat twice per day, Onfi twice per day, Lamictal, and have a rescue med if i have 3 or more seizures per day. I had surgery last year and my seizures have lessened in frequency and intensity, thank God, but I might be starting on a new medication or a second surgery
