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. 👍❤️🙏

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.

Increase your dosage ONLY if your doctor/neurologist prescribes that.
