Hello everyone.
I wanted to ask you all something about medications for Epilepsy only.
I used to take Tegretol XR and did notice that I had more trouble keeping good seizure control (missing two dose could cause a seizure.)
I now take Keppra XR but used to have troubles with Keppra but I could be a missed dose or doses that would cause trouble.
Lamictal isn't XR and I can feel when it is out of my system but I don't know if it would make sense to a neuro or not hehe.
When I went to the ER for two seizures close together- the ER told me that I am one of those patients that are most prone to having seizures when I miss meds even if its one full day (when Im real busy or traveling without paying attention etc)
ER doctor said I have to be careful and make sure I take meds correctly. My neuro would get mad (which is totally normal) when I reduce my meds when I feel better.
Anyway- do you guys feel that XR lessens the "meds have run out of my system feeling" or do you feel it doesn't cause a change in feeling or sensation at all?
Take care everyone
