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.

Anti-seizure medications (ASMs) are the primary treatment for controlling seizures in epilepsy. These medications work by reducing excess electrical activity in the brain and are effective for about 70% of people with epilepsy.

Common types of anti-seizure medications include:
• Valproate sodium (Depacon)
• Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
• Levetiracetam (Keppra)
• Clobazam (Onfi)
• Topiramate (Topamax) For acute seizure management, rescue medications from the benzodiazepine class are often prescribed. These medications work quickly to calm brain activity during a seizure. They come in several forms:
• Pills that dissolve under tongue or in cheek
• Nasal sprays
• Rectal gels

It's important to work with your neurologist to find the right medication combination for your specific situation. They can help determine the best treatment plan while managing any potential side effects.

I love music while I’m doing activities of the day
