When you are asked to take medication in the Morning and Night when Label on the box, would you follow it to 12 Hours between taking it, or what would you think of Various time in the Morning and A Various time at Night?

This is a general question of public opinion. I myself always assumed it was, but apparently it's not at least according to Social Security in Indiana that is. I finally decided to apply b/c someone else I know receives disability do to having seizures which started after an aneurysm they also happen to work as well.

I’ve been out for nearly 2 weeks now, and i haven’t had any seizures… read more

Hello! I could not find any answers to this topic. Do you all find that you generally need more sleep than others? I know everyone is different, but I find that I usually need 8+hours of sleep daily. I am very diligent about getting enough sleep as that is one of my main triggers. On the weekends, I can easily sleep for 9+ hours. Is anyone else like this?

My almost 18 year old son has had seizures since he was 6 years old. He’s been taking Trileptal and Lamictal. He has had two grand mal seizures in the last month. His doctor slowly increased his lamicatal to 175 mg twice a day. He has been throwing up every day after his morning dose.
