Hi there,
My husband is currently being weaned off his current seizure meds and will eventually be put on other ones. But I was going over his seizure history and it seems strange - every time his seizure meds were upped - he had a seizure about a month later.
He had his first seizure last Feb and the neurologist immediately put him on a low dosage while he awaited tests. He saw her 2 months later after the tests and he had no seizures. She sent him for a blood test to get his level and raised it a month later. So - no seizures for 3 months on the low dosage - it was raised and a month later, he had a seizure. She raised it again - 5 weeks later he had a seizure - she raised it again and 4 weeks later he had a seizure.
So he did much better on the lower dosage - going 4 months without a seizure.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Sue
