every person reacts differently to medication so I can only give you a personal experience. Clonazepam aka Klonopin was something taken at the time for my seizures that made me a bit foggy at first but it eventually did begin working for my needs. As for what your situation is, I would speak with your specialist directly then ask questions of need as he or she can give a more professional, detailed break down of the AEDs on the market that could fit your health and wellness. That is my suggestion. I am unsure if my experience is a helpful guide or not which is why I suggested speaking direct with your specialist. Take care my friend.
There are Aed meds that can be do both jobs but I don't think there is anything out there that can do them both at once. The main problem is normally even if a drug can do both the dosage guidelines are completely different and normally depression, anxiety, ptsd ect will have lower dosages and if you use a higher epilepsy dosage it won't work as well. Normally if you have both they put you on different meds for both.
