Out of Body -Which Bed and Why?

[The Dude]

1000mg 2x a day?!?! WT...? Even when I seen 800 I thought that was huge but OMG. I just started it and they want me topped out at 100 2x a day. And that's after the topamax has been ramped down. 1000?!?! How come so bloody high? And you're on this mix raising a child? I could cry for you, that is overload. So when do they friggin stop? There has to be another way. Surgery? Implant? And Keppra-I wish you the best. I've never been on it but when it was recently brought up I said 'Not a chance.' Too volatile on the mood.
(((HUGS))) to you too. I'm just givin' em' out today - having a crappy one myself.

I'm a pretty big guy I'm 6' 275 pounds not huge but I also metabolize the drugs VERY fast. The pharmacist said the same thing "1000 mg's 2x a day this can't be right I'll be right back I'm going to call the doc". I'm not a candidate for surgery and I've heard very little on the implants. If I start noticing mood issues on the Keppra that's it I already made that clear to them. At that point MY plan is to just go back to 800 mg's of Lamictal and deal with 3 or 4 seizures a year that's it 1 pill no cocktails.

well my combos of my meds (just as i'm sure everyone else's) aren't just black and white. it's so nice to be off ativan this morning and be able to type proreprly. anyways. the 400 topamax, 600 lamictal, 1500 keppra controls my seizures. if i drop those in anyway the tremors begin; drop any further, the seizures start. the lexapro and ativan controls the social anxiety disorder. the SAD stems from both my personal history and some of my medication side effects. and i have to use lexapro because it seems to be one of the only anti-depressants epilepsy safe and most benzos are too. so i'm sorta stuck in a rock and a hard place. but the odd feeling as though a portion of my body is being controlled by someone else even though i am moving it is very strange and scary at times, and i really didn't know what was causing it.
