I was first diagnosed over 30 years ago. Since then I have been on Phenobarbital (made me drunk) Dilantin (switched when I learned to swallow pills), Tegretol (gave me a rash), Lamictal (this fall started giving me liver problems), Topomax (started making me stupid).
Since this fall I have gotten onto Extended Release Keppra and Extended Release Depakote. Still I am having one tonic clonic seizure a week. I had to give up driving and that is driving me crazy. I had a seizure 2 nights ago, so this still isn't right. My docs want to get me on Banzel, but I am going to have to go through their outreach program, because it is really expensive. Has anyone had success with Banzel? Is is successful with clonic tonic and myclonic seizures?
Thanks
