I take three different types of anticonvulsants together, I would love to be able to come off of them, but my neurologist has said no. I know I need to stay on them because if Iโm late for a dose I have a seizure. I would much prefer to be taking all the anticonvulsants than having seizures. The neurologist & my GP do regular checks & blood tests on me which is reassuring, it is tough I know, but you will get used to the medication, itโll be worth it ๐
Separate the times each medication is taken (i.e. 12 hours apart) & schedule times for each that wil/ may help you discover which/ when is best for you ๐๐ฟ๐ค
It depends on what type of seizure you have, and what kind of medication that you are taking, because medication that may work for someone else may not work the same way for you. And that's because people don't have the same immune system.
Don't hesitate to inform and ask any questions to your Dr. on how you're feeling. It can take time to adjust to medicine, if you're feeling uncomfortable I'd let him/her know.
When you have questions about meds, interactions, side-effects, etc --remember that one of your best resources is your pharmacist. There have.been times when I could contact my pharmacist but it was impossible to reach my doctor. Keep that in mind when you are having issues that could be related to your meds. Lots of times your pharmacist can explain it or alleviate your fears.
