Re: [epilepsy] Pills dosage blood tests

 

Hi Daniel,

Welcome to our group. Yes, I have my blood tested every year.

And if I have a sz-- it is tested then also. At this time I am pretty
much controlled. It's been 4 years since last sz.

Hello all!

I was just curious to know a simple thing: how do you check if you are taking too much of your pill?
In my country (Italy) I periodically take a specific blood test to dose my pill, to see if the quantity in my blood is enough, too much or too few. Do you have such tests in your countries too?

I ask this dumb question because speaking with a Bulgarian friend, who also has epilepsy, she told me that she never took such tests and her doctors (she had more than one neurologist) never asked her to take them. So I wondered how they could decide how many pills she had to take?

Thanks for your attention and best wishes for a seizure free life.

Daniel
