Meds cocktail
by wildcolonialboy, Feb 27, 2008 09:46AM
Saw my epileptologist yesterday and she put me on a cocktail of 3 AEDs;Lamictal,Keppra,and Dilantin. Actually I've been on Dilantin for 16 years and was seizure free and then I had a breakthrough seizure[devastating].My doc is transitioning me off of Dilantin and onto Lamictal.She said the Keppra would be a bridge while the Lamictal becomes fully therapeutic.What can I expect in terms of side effects? Is it realistic to think that Lamictal will eventually be my only AED? I currently take 600mgs of Dilantin daily. How long should it take for the Dilantin to get out of my system? As the Dilantin level decreases am I at a greater risk for having another seizure? I appreciate all and any comments.

Relax,lamictal has shown its efficacy in trials and works good as monotherapy too.
