[epilepsy] Re: Do far Depakote is working

 

Have you tried making dietary changes like avoiding everything with caffeine in it...(like coffee)? Caffeine lowers the seizure threshold.....so does cola soda... Most soda has caffeine in it. Most Tea also has caffeine in it. There are other foods you can avoid which lower the SZ threshold...

Also check other meds...

hope it works good for you. I took Depakote and Lamictal for a few
months. I went 4 months without a seizure, but when my neurologist started
increasing the dosage of the Lamictal I started developing a rash. She told
me they interacted with each other, so I was took off the Lamictal. I had
to take Benedryl for a couple of weeks to get rid of the rash. I am on
Keppra and Vimpat now. I still have seizures every now and then.I haven't
found a good combination since those two.TC.
