Q: More Seizures

asked by: Dakotalawdog on June 20th, 2005

Saturday night I had 4 or 5 seizures in my sleep, and at least 7 or 8 during the day. I was hoping that these would at least be better or not as many, even though i've only been on meds for 8 or 9 days. Intensity is the same as before, and they arrived at the same time frame as they would have without the meds.

Frustrating, depressing, running out of positive outlook.

That is a very large number of seizures. I do not recall what kind you have. Did you call the neuro? I would......Meds take time, but when you are having a lot the neuro might need to add another....

I am taking tripleptal, and I called my neuro and she bumped me to 600mg in the morn and night.

Now I am just in a fog all the time.

Sometimes the side effects do ease after a few weeks. I hope that is the case for you as well.....
