- Seizure Background
- idiopathic seizure activity (gran mal) since head trauma in 1983. Been taking Dilantin since then and have recently had dosage increased from 300 to 550mgs. I still have seizures while sleeping at night and recent dexa scan shows osteoporosis (taking fossamax as well).A shrinking cerebellum only adds to my list of mental hurdles Acute memory losses and have had episodes during the day without auras. Can't figure the triggers yet.Soon starting Lamotrigene therapy.Anyone heard of a 'starter pack'?
Finally titrated down from Dilantin to Lamictal and have had 3 episodes in 6 weeks with/without auras. Crunched my car and a block wall saturday but walked away unscathed. More rides to hospital,scans,tests etc. nothing broken. Up dosages ? - Treatments
- 5mg valium (for insomnia ). Gonna change to more than just 300mg /daily Lamotrigine soon.
- Location
- Tucson,AZ
- Interests
- Limited to walking now,but Happy to split my recent hospital bills with everyone !
