Hawke, when you own that pharmacy, will you give me a discount? Just joking.

I am lucky to only have ever needed two epilepsy drugs over 27 years, but take pretty high doses of each. Visits to the pharmacy are cheap. I take 6 other medications/vitamins also.

Aed's


Over 5 years,I have had Lamotrigine,which i had no side effects from,but it didnt stop my seizures either.Then I was put on Epilim which made me sleep for 18 hours a day,so i was put on Tegretol,which i was badly allergic to and my liver started to fail,i spent a week in icu (my liver's ok now,i have to have monthly blood tests the vampires). Then I was put on Gabapentin (I think neurontin in america?) and now my doctors put me on topamax at the same time.That makes 5.
