Has anyone tried lacosamide, and how well did it work alongside Keppra XR?

Unfortunately, the search results don't include specific information about lacosamide or personal experiences from MyEpilepsyTeam members who've tried it. The available information focuses on other anti-seizure medications but doesn't cover lacosamide specifically.

What's important to know is that taking multiple anti-seizure medications together is common in epilepsy treatment. Many people require at least two medications to help control their seizures, and doctors carefully consider how different medications work together.

Since you're already on 3000mg of Keppra XR, your doctor is likely adding lacosamide to improve seizure control. When starting any new medication alongside Keppra, it's helpful to:

* Keep track of any seizure changes in a seizure diary
* Monitor for new side effects
* Report any concerns to your doctor promptly
* Follow the dosing schedule exactly as prescribed

Your doctor will likely start you on a lower dose and gradually increase it to find what works best for you while minimizing side effects.
