Do I stay on this medication? Help please...
Mon, 03/14/2005 - 09:20Topic: Medication Issues
I had an EEG a little over a year ago and have been put on 3 different medications with various dosages during that time, with no relief. Needless to say I am getting anxious to find something to help. I started a new combination of Keppra and Trileptal about a month ago and haven't felt any better. I get dream-like seizures where I feel like I can't concentrate and I'm not myself and they usually last for what seems to be all day sometimes. Anyways, I am wondering how long I stay on a medicine before I know if it works. I am at full dosage now and feel like I just waste days waiting to see if I'll feel better later. Has anyone asked or been told how long it takes for you to feel better from the medicine. I don't know when it should start working.thanks

Peaberry, I have done a month. I would make the judgement of going off or stay on from how I felt. Based on my decision it would depend onmany side effects and how much it is helping me and do I want to deal with those side effects on a long term basis.When taking more than one medication, you have to give each one a chance for each medication has to get along with the other. The more you have the more complicated it is.Keep an eye on trileptal for it brings down the sodium and can cause a seizure if the sodium gets to low.http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/Lisa
