hey stonerock,i too have just started takin lamactil. i started out on dilantin, that didnt work. then i was on keppra and dilantin and that worked for about 6 months. my doc decided to take me off dilantin and keep me only on keppra. i was fine for about 2 months then had a seizure. she upped my dosage to 1000mg 2x a day. i had another seizure. so we are tryin the combo of meds again. the lamactil and keppra. im on 1500mg 2x a day for the keppra and workin my way up to the 100mg 2x a day dosage. i will say this though, the lamactil has already helped me. last sunday,&nbsp;i started having a seizure. my right hand started twitchin like it always does, and usually my seizure spreads and before i black out i go through great pain. but on sunday, as i waited for the seizure to progress, it never did. my neuro said that is a good sign. instead of having a complex partial, i only had a partial. now speakin from experience, i would MUCH rather have the type of seizure i had on sun. than have the complex partial seizures. well i WOULD MUCH rather be seizure free, but if that goal is not attainable ill take the partials over the complex partials any day of the week. well best of luck and keep my informed of your progress. god bless you!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ed beck&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; email-&nbsp; <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
