My doctor told me no good neurologist would ever prescibe a bezodiazipine for epilesy.
The only time they are used is in an emergency to control one seizure after another. They control seizures but at a price. The dosage will have to be steadily increase and you can develop withdrawal symtoms even while you are taking them.
drug of benzo family can be used to control seizures, especially Klonopin. and Klonopin can be used for any type of epilepsia, and it is safe to take Klonopin when you have to stop taking some antiepilepisa drugs for some reason. but I don't recommend you eat more than 3 types of antiepilepsia drug, because the interaction between these drug reduce their effects.
Don't worry, love. I've been through called the same thing. A "drug seeker". I had surgery, and six weeks later I was still having pain. Everyone thought I just wanted the pain meds. NOT TRUE! I really hurt. Then I was put in the hospital for 4 days because I had an infection from the surgery. <--different situation, but sort of the same.
I am taking teg, dilantin and depakote to control two types of seizures. I never sleep accept during the day, on and off.
Hang in there! I believe you!
