Topic: Medication Issues

Has anyone tried this new drug? It was FDA approved in June of 05. My daughter is just about at where they want her with it. She is coming off of the Felbatol that she was on. She is also on Zonegram, Lamictal, Trileptal and Clonazepan for seizures. We are going to try to get rid of one or two more of the drugs and see how she does. She has seizures daily.

I was on the new drug, and I had problems with the insurance co. So I lived on samples. I hated being on it. The Doc took me off of it and increased my Keppra. I have been great since then. It was only two days ago though Nanci
