My neurologist was telling me about one possible side effect of increasing the dose of AED's (or at least Tegretol) is an increase in the number of seizures. I am assuming he meant this is only a temporary side effect while the body adjusts to the increased dose. I did have an increase in the number of seizures I had immediately after I went from 1200 mg of Tegretol XR a day to 1400 mg/day. Does anyone here know how increasing the AED dose can increase the # of seizures? And has anyone else here experienced this? About a month after increasing my Tegretol XR does I started taking Keppra in addition to the Tegretol XR. For the first week I took 500mg BID of Keppra. Then for about a month I took 1000mg BID of Keppra. And then finally I was raised up to 1500mg BID of Keppra after having an unexpected seizure.
