Tried 3 meds
Hi,
I started off with dilantin after the first grand mal in 1988. After having 2 more, I switched to 600mg/day of tegretol and have been seizure free for 20 years. However, I didn't know that the medicine was robbing my bones in the process. After a mountain bike crash last June, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and am currently in the process of switching to Keppra. Once on that for a month, I'll begin ramping down on the tegretol.
