[epilepsy] Re: Am I being irrational?

 

Hi Rebecca,

Have you only been off of your drugs for a week? Some AEDs take time to build up in your bloodstream and also take some time to entirely leave your bloodstream, so it's possible that if it has only been a week, they are still affecting you. That said, I would get a second opinion. If the three meds you are currently prescribed still leave you with daily seizures, you need to be trying something else. You don't mention in this message what type of seizures you have, or what type of epilepsy. Do you currently see a doctor who specializes in epilepsy treatment? Are you able to go to a teaching facility? They usually are more on the cutting edge of medicine (no pun intended:)

Take care,
Tammy
