Chips, I'm on Trileptol, Keppra & Zonegran. The only problem I have is wieght and emotions which I was told is caused by Keppra. But I stay pretty much in balance as long as I eat a well balanced meal, take vitamins and take my meds at the sametime each day. It's been the best combination for me. Wendy

I'm just on Trileptal.  I just started having simple and complex partial seizures last year at age 37.  Normal MRI, some evidence of seizure activity on sleep-deprived EEG.

I am on 300 milligrams 2x per day, which seems to have controlled the seizures without causing any side effects other than my gaining about 15 lbs in 3 months.  Arrgh.

Hi p-nut, My situation is similar to yours: i have simple and complex partial seisures since Feb. last year when I was 36 years old. I have total 2 complex partial seizures since then and 1 simple seizures approx half month. I started to use Trilptal this Feb. after I got my 2nd complex seizure. Starting dose is 300mgX2/day, increased to 300mgX3/day since Apr. 20. But so far seems it doesn't work, the simple seizure still happens about every half month.How frequent and serious are yours?
