Wed, 03/21/2007 - 12:07Hi.. okay the bi yearly vist to the ep neuro.. and he in his infinte wisdom...grin.. has decided to play with my meds yet once again...
im thinking perhaps he was bored...but alas what do i know...sigh..
Anyway on to my question... i will now be taking 1200mg of tegretol... down to 100mg of topamax from 300mg so that part is good,,
But he has added in Clonazepam as well... does anyone have any thoughts on this med?

Thanks in advance for any and all input
