First meeting with epilepsy nurse....

[Cherriuz]

....and shes bouncing me back to my neurologist - hahahaha!
Sorry I have not been about for a while. Had my appendix out hahahaha.
Going back to my neurologist... would assume thats because there is no seizure control at this point?
So the plan is to go up to 400mg daily of lamotrigine and if no improvement my gp is to start a script for keppra and wean off the lamotrigine with a follow up in 6 months
Its all been quiet since I started going up on lamotrigine so fingers crossed.
Still confused why my next followup is with my consultant

I used to alternate between meetings with the epilepsy nurse and meetings with the neurologist. Once a year for each. The nurse could check on general things, but for any adjustments to the meds, she had to get in touch with the neurologist to get the okay.

Anyway, hope the lamotrigine increase helps.

Hope you get some control. I know it sucks having to go back and forth, really dealing with any of this sucks.

That would make sense. Nak, thank you. Will have been a year since I saw her last.
Only made it to 175mg in the morning and 150mg at night and im so flipping forgetful and struggling to get up when the kids wake.
Then again it is only day 4 so....7 weeks to go to 400mg a day
Thank you muay we do have a backup plan. I honestly thought when I got diagnosed 6 months ago it would be a case of take a tablet no more messing about no more fits...how wrong was I....?
