I had been sz. free for 3 weeks! I was decreasing my tegretol to go off and went onto my depakote 1000mg a day and then this week i completly stopped the tegretol and just on depakote and tonight i had a big sz. and we think a couple small ones today because of repetitive talking, which that would obvisly be the complex partial sz. so emailed neuro tonight and going up to 1250mg of depakote and if that doesnt work then im goin back on the tegretol. I dont understand why he wont keep me on both, because for the last 3 weeks i have been on both and havent had a sz. at all. Looked into other neuro drs around here and they are even worse. So i just tryin to hold out for now.
