Dr A: Raise the Tegretol XR from 600 mg BID to 700 mg BID
Dr B: Take 1000 mg of Keppra BID and slowly wean myself off of Tegretol XR so I am only taking Keppra.
Dr C: Keep taking 700 mg of Tegretol XR BID as well as 1000 mg of Keppra BID.
I would not be surprised if almost everyone on this forum has gone through this. The bottom line is I don't trust Tegretol to control my seizures anymore and I'm less than convinced that 1000 mg BID of Keppra is enough for a 200 pound person. The problem is my insurance won't pay for Dr B.
