I haven't had a seizure since May 29th. At that time I was ramping up on lamotrigine. I went up to 150mg twice a day and had horrible headaches. In July, he brought me back down to 125mg twice a day. My last seizure was at either 100mg or 125mg twice a day. I can't remember which one.
My trough level is in the lower end of the therapeutic range. He gave me a choice. I could stay where I am and see how it goes. Or I could add another med and deal with new side effects. He said that either way there was no guarantee that I would be seizure free - "only time will tell". I chose to stay with the med I am on. I guess that I will add another med later; if I need to.
I also got "the look" because I haven't been calling when I have a seizure. :soap: I really like my neuro ... he is the only one of my doctors that does not make me feel like a seventh grade science fair project!
