I've been having breakthrough seizures (since the 9th) and can't get an appointment until the 29th of this month. I was inpatient and the neuro upped my Carbatrol to 800mg from 400mg a day but it's not making a difference. I'm not sure what to do, as I'm having around 3 seizures a day. I just got out of inpatient and the neuro there (who is now my new outpatient neuro) told me my problem is a ongoing outpatient problem and not an acute inpatient problem. I don't know what to do. There's no way to get to this neuro any sooner (he works in the hospital I was at and also co-directs the stroke center so he's busy). I'm getting exhausted as I have other physical problems on top of the seizure disorder that are going wrong. I'm not sure what to do as Urgent Care facilities don't accept my secondary insurance so I have no where to go. My mom won't take me to the ER as she is angry with me having seizures. Also, when I went to the ER for the breakthrough seizures they told me there was nothing they could do but refer me to my outpatient neuro (I've been having complex partial seizures). Any advice?:dontknow:
ETA: Already on 1500mg Depakote ER, 800mg Carbatrol (400mg BID),and 1mg Klonopin AM,2mg PM :'(
