I was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2006; the seizures I have are tonic clonic. I have only been on 3 medications since I was diagnosed; Lamictal, Topamax and Keppra; Topamax and Keppra were my only combined medications after they failed separately. Lamictal is what I'm on right now; 200mg in the morning and 300mg at night (apparently that's as high as I can go on them) the longest I have been without a seizure was June 2012 to January 2014. I had another yesterday.
My last EEG was in 2011 and I never get any blood tests done to see if the medication is doing anything negative to my liver. There was a time where I came very ill and my local doctors did blood tests and I had low liver enzymes and was almost borderline anemic although they didn't say what the cause was.
I see a neurologist not an epilepsy specialist and whenever I see her she spends more time asking if I'm, sexually active? What am I doing in my spare time? Do I have a job? I've never seen her pick up her medication book.
I just feel she's acting like she's done all she can think of.
