Hi dfphillips,

I have taken all of the sz. meds that you have or are taking for my sz. and I found that keppra increased my sz. and Topamax wasn't strong enough even though the Dr. increased the dosage for me it l still had 23 sz. in one month. Just like you I broke out with a rash from the trileptal. If the Dr. tries to put you on lamictal or tegretol you will probably break out with a rash from these drugs also because they are very similar. This is what happened with me after the Dr. tried to change my meds each time I broke out with a rash. I have found that the best meds for me are the older sz med like mysoline, Diamox, and a good one to take is vimpat. This drug is a newer drug and it has reduced my complex partial and simple partial sz. greatly. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
