I'm taking Trileptal, Keppra and Clorazapate.
But I would be careful in increasing dosages, you might get overdosed. Let your neurologist or doctor decide.

Example, in 2005, they had to increase my Trileptal dosage by 50mg because I was gaining weight, but in 2010, I lost that weight and my Trileptal was adjusted because someone saw me as if I was "under the influence (of alcohol)". I talked that with my neurologist and he wanted to follow up with me in a month to seek if it worked.

So I would kind of do your home work first before you leap. Ask for copies of your doctor's notes BEFORE adjusting any doages of your medicine. Just saying.

Most of the time it was Dilantin, Keppra and Trileptal.
