I take 1000mgKepprax2 and 125mg Lamictal x2. I was taken off Tegretol (because bad liver profile) at a 2 week stay in hospital and given Ativan for the change over to new meds. The Keppra and Lamictal make me agitated and sleepless. My trough levels are normal. I do take .5mg of Klonipin at night to spleep. It has done wonders for my mood and ability to sleep. I still keep a script of Ativan to take after seizures to calm my brain. Haven't had to take it in months; thank God.

Subject: [epilepsy] For women only
Has anyone ever heard of increasing dose during the cycle?
My doctors last suggestion was adding Xanax then. That is not an epilepy medicine so is not something I will agree too. Is he just blaming the increased seizures on what he thinks is an emotional/mental cause (and I don't) or does Xanax really help with seizures not caused by stress or things like that?
I used to have problems with depression. I wonder if he doesn't believe I'm ok now and wants to blame everything on emotional causes.
Is it possible to increase Lamictal only then? Are there anti-seizures that you can take only then?
Thanks,
Uhura
