I am 19 and was diagnosed with epilepsy on March 8, 2006 could've been 2005 not really sure. Since then I have been and off medications and have been to two different Neurologists. The first doctor was constantly changing my meds b/c he was worried about weight loss/gain, depression or anxiety. The second doctor (who i am currently with) then prescribed me with 100mg of Lamictal and 100mg of Clonazipan in the morning and afternoon.
I then had my second seizure this year in May which was a shocker. I hadn't twitched in over a year, took my medications on a regular basis got 7-8 hours of sleep as recommended by the doctor and was told I was stable.
It made me so mad because I did everything I was supposed to do and it all seemed that everything that I had just went through (CAT scans, brain wave monitoring, medication changing etc.) had washed down the drain and was useless. Now I am up to 200mg of Lamictal and 100mg of Clonozipan in the morning and 250mg of Lamictal and 150mg of Clonazipan in the afternoon.
