I am having very frequent focal seizures and complex/simple partials, im having them everyday to everyother day for the past few months. I saw my nuero yesterday and hes been trying to get me switched to another dr for 2 months now but so far no luck. Im going to get blood work to get my drug levels. But he wants to start a new med that I have never even heard of. I cant even remember the name because its so new. And this would be an addition to my depakote and trileptal. My nuero said im on really low doses of my 2 meds, only 1000mg a day of depakote and 12000mg a day of trileptal. However I was on keppra befor and that was a BIG dose and i weened myself off of it because i hated it so much and my drs wouldnt listen. Im going to ask for that DNA blood work aswell. But what have been the best meds that have helped you with those paticular seizures? I dont really want to try a brand new med. So im open to other meds with less side affects, verses a new med that heaven knows what the side affects can be.
