In regards to the shipping, Epidiolex will ship as a controlled substance, so the only concern is signature requirement for delivery. We really didn't have issues with particular drugs unless they were refrigerated.Glad Keppra is working for you. It didn't for me and then my nuerologist switched me to Briviact, which had some better results, but hasn't been controling my absence seizures so, "no driving for me". I tried increasing the dosage from 200 mg per day to 250 mg per day and got worse! So then went lower (150/day) and got better. Those few data points almost make me think it would be better to reduce further but my current nuerologist is concerned of a break through Tonic-Clonic (for which I take Dilantin); haven't had one of those in many years.
I've been through the spectrum of Phenobarbitol, Tegretol, Depakote, Onfi, Zorontin (which was "Za-rotten-ist" medication ever - so I've been steady with the dinosaur drug Dilantin.
I used to work for the Dept of the Navy, so any CBD drug was a threat to my clearance; now that I'm retired, I'm considering giving this Epidiolex a try.
Did you find Epidiolex more troublesome than most in terms of shipment issues?
Thanks for your service,
