What seizure meds are also anti-anxiety?

Mon, 11/08/2010 - 20:33

I don't know if I can take the extra anxiety from the lamictal for too much longer. I have to do so much and go to therapy to contain it. Otherwise my sense of awareness is so strong that I get adrenaline rushes from loud sounds or get nervous in a car ride. I have this constant neck tightness also from being nervous. I will talk to my Dr. soon to see if it's worth taking anymore because I also can't sleep without trazodone. 

 So what are my options for ant-anxiety anti-convulsants? I have JME or generalized ep.

Revelations, I'm confused. I directly addressed your comments as well as those of other posters. Why don't you reply directly to the "off-topic" comments and let the poster(s) know why you considered these to be non-responsive? We don't own these fora. We cannot moderate them. If you think a comment is inappropriate, flag it and let epi-help deal with it. I am sorry that you are displeased with the replies. Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na.

Revelations, Thanks. I try to be sensitive to people's needs, especially when they're looking for help. It's really tough because even good doctors have a hard time practicing good medicine these days. It's a tough row we all have to hoe. Baruch Hashem. Hoshia na.

I put the link to my latest post here: http://my.epilepsy.com/discussion/992746#comment-1039334 My Life With Epilepsy or Should I Say No Life? It's at the end of the comment. I am so sick of the captcha gotcha. If I'm up to it, I'll try putting in the links again. More people read it if it's easier to find.
