My doctor wants me to take a higher dose of meds because I am still having some small seizures during the day and have had some bad noctural grand mal seizures in the past with the last one not waking up until a day later. My doctor was very concerned about that one but I feel good now and I try not to worry about my past. My memory took 3 weeks to return so that was the most frustrating for me not the seizure even though i hate those too.
Since the bad spells and being on lamotrigne I have had some small episodes but they never kept me from working or anything (well maybe for a few minutes). I just had a little surge in my head and couldn't respond for a moment and was ok again or I had jamais vu come over me all of a sudden and was kinda nausea to the stomach but other than that I am usually a little tired but feel wonderful. So the Dr. is like hummm, I think you should try a little higher dose because you are not really taking very much and I would like to see the seizures fully controlled. I am taking 100 twice a day (200) and he wants me up to 150 twice a day (300). I really hate pills. But anyway I am a bit nervous about going up a bit more. So I was wondering if anyone found a big change when they had to increase their med especially anyone using lamotrigne. I am hoping I will be able to wean off but kinda know that I will probably have to take them forever. I hate being dependent on anyone, anything. Thanks everyone for your support...all your responses mean the world to me.
