I finally got to see the neurologist, after finding out that they'd accidentally wiped me from their appointments list. (Thank god for my E-nurse, she sorted it out for me)
Anywho... the issue was raised over whether or not to add an extra medication. Currently i'm on 3000mg keppra a day and he said that's as high as i can go. I've not had any tonic clonics in the two months or so i've been on this dosage, and i'm having much less partials. Maybe a couple a day depending on tiredness etc. Some days i'll have none that i notice, other days can be many.
He mentioned something called lacosimide or something like that. I've never heard of it before. I know it began with an L and had a C in the middle lol. Has anyone ever tried this?
I could live with the level of control i have at the moment, but if it's not fully controlled then i won't be able to get my driving license back. I'm worried about the side effects merry-go-round as well, after my experiences on the Lamictal. At least with Keppra i get minimal side effects.
Confused!
