Part of your dilemma is that you do not understand the physiology of epilepsy. the reason for daytime dosage is so that you build up/maintain a therapeutic level of the medication in your bloodstream. My seizures were exclusively nocturnal as a child, but not so anymore. They are also less intense than the full Grand Mals that I had as a child. Good luck. ;)

If you have nocturnal seizures only and take drugs for this ( I
take Lamictal ), I was wondering if you also take the same drug
and same dosage during the day. Since it has been almost 12 years
since surgery, and after this, I only get seizures when asleep,
I do not understand why I would have to also take the drug in
the morning. I know you will say asking the doctor is the answer,
but since I have asked and not received reason why I should take
this for daytime also. Your experience or suggestion is valuable.
