Hi all,
I recently received a report of blood work findings from my neurologist. My ALT is elevated at 50. The AST is climbing from what it was last blood work.
Is this cause for concern? My other AED medication, while controlling seizures also caused this. The Trileptal I am now taking has controlled my seizures very well and I am just beginning to adapt to the side effects. I would hate to have to wean off of it, and I am not going to do anything with it until I hear from my doctor.
My doctor is supposed to call me Monday.
Do any of you know other options for medication? Medical Cannabis is not legal yet in Ohio. I am willing to try another AED that is not metabolized through a hepatic pathway. Suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Caleb
