@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member different doctors keep contradicting each other. All I know is I know my body and know when something’s wrong. What works for one person doesn’t work for the next. But it is just so frustrating having to figure it out for yourself and everyone says to just consult my doctor. Doctors, especially neurologists are so expensive and fully booked months in advance, just for them to tell me what I already know or that it is unlikely that it is because of the meds - then what else?!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I can’t find any literature that suggest it will make my seizure meds less effective, on the contrary they say it is also an anti-seizure med. The clonazepam was to control my anxiety and sleeplessness, which were my triggers… now that’s solved but now I’m getting unprovoked seizures, so I don’t know how I am supposed to “avoid or manage” my triggers when there are no external triggers to avoid. I believe it is chemical, that my system is just not compatible with these drugs, so I want out. I just hope the damage isn’t permanent.

SunnyB , I've known quite a few people that took Clonazepam for Small Mal Seizures, BAD Side-Affect for People taking it for more then 5 years, Dementia ! Yes, I said Dementia,, I was on it for a total of 19 years, last two years, I was even forgetting conversations that I've had with my Wife, Family , some Friends & even conversations with my GP..... Since a year ago, Any medication I had from my Phychiatrist including Clonazepam, I gave them all to my GP to completely dispose of it.... And I told her that I WILL NEVER TRUST A Phychiatrist EVER AGAIN, They'll Lie to You straight to Your FACE! I've known 2 Local Neurologist that LIES straight to there patients FACE, so I'm stuck seeing one of them again has a Patient,

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
Are the anti anxiety medications compromising the effectiveness of your seizure disorder medications?
