Hello,
I was wondering if anybody is experiencing the same problem that I am at the moment. I was put on keppra in June of 2013, and started on a low dosage and the seizures continued about one month on average and my neurologist increased it, until September when I was already at full dosage he finally put me on lamical. He slowly increased my dosage, until I was at 200mg and since September I've been seizure free.
Until recently, I've been reducing it throughout the year until July I was finally taken off completely. I am trying to figure out, was that the right combination for me? I heard polytherapy rarely works, but perhaps I'm the exception? Besides, I skipped one pill the night I had the seizure. What are the chances of it being just because I skipped the one pill? I mean, it is very close after going off of keppra and I've been seizure free for one year and I only skipped one 100mg pill, that caused me to have a seizure? I don't get it.
Sorry, I can't ask my neurologist all of these questions because he won't talk directly to me through the phone (only his nurse) ... my father doesn't have time right now to take off to take me over there just for questions. Any idea though?
