At this point in my journey, no. I did that so much in the beginning years, that I was actually overmedicated! It was a horrible experience for my family. My meds work at keeping my epilepsy to a tolerable level. I know everyone would much rather be free totally, but,from the severity and amount of daily occurrence in the past, I'm okay.

It would depend what the side effects are. Is it better than what I'm already taking? Will it help the type of epilepsy I have? I take Keppra and have anger issues because of it. Because of that side effect I take Citalopram. Citalopram is causing other side effects like ED.

If there's a better medication than Keppra, I would try it.

I got the Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery at November. Unfortunately, My Meds were rearranged and gave Me several seizures. Fractured ribs and banged on the DBS bleeding it. I finally managed My Meds and are now doing well.

I would have to be able to get information on the drug first. Does the medication conflict with the meds i am taking now? Is there an issue with taking this drug and the vitamin supplements i am taking? What are the side effects from this medication?
