Had an appointment with him and he brought in a younger doctor with him not a med student this time and I told him your going to listen to me until I'm done.
Of the 5 medications I'm on Tegretol,Topamax,Clonazepam,Onfi, and Phenobarb I'll start by coming off one med Clonazepam.I'm on .5 MG in the morning.

I also agreed to increase the Tegretol back to 900MG a day. 300x3 from 600MG a day.
I had 6 seizures in December and I use to just phase out know more I'm having Complex partials now and TC seizures.

I didn't have any seizures in November at all and maybe two in October.

I go back to see him in March5th.

Good for you! I hope you start to feel better once you cut out the Clonazepam. And maybe get to try coming off some of the others too.

Thats Great Belinda I am glad you are having less seizures. I just saw a neuro Today and he recommended that I take Onfi in conjunction with my Keppra. How did you do with the Onfi? He mentioned that 25% of people that take it are seizure free after taking it.

I haven't had alot of experience with this drug. I know the Klonapin is very nasty though and My doc wouldn't even prescribe it for me. Cheers!
