You Neurologist / Epileptologist has us get our blood drawn , to check our medication levels out . If the levels of the med(s) are low , the Dr. will increase the dosage..

Generally when your seizures begin to increase, you should speak with your doctor about the medication and whether or not he wants to increase one of your current medications or possibly even a new medication. One thing many doctors fail, in my own experience, to look at is the possibility of what side effects you may have due to the high dosages. As soon I changed doctors he said that he was going to cut back on one of my medications and begin mme on a new medication because I shouldn’t take that medication at a high dosage, especially since I have been taking it so long. We were able to cut back although unfortunately not able to get me off of it.
But I must say that I have been in the hands of the Lord and I may be able to have surgery and then they could cut back on the amount of medication that I currently take. 👍❤️🙏

Neurologists usually require a 6 month draw, but more often if you’re having seizure activity. But one definitely is supposed to wait on their Dr to increase dosage if and when it is low or the seizures intensify. Then again, you could be taking the highest recommended dose of a med, and it could be damaging or dangerous to increase it. So you really need to follow medical advice to stay safe.

In my opinion I think the new Dr should have said something about your med levels.

I talk to my doctor about my medication levels.
