Question about types of Meds
Mon, 02/20/2006 - 14:00Topic: Medication Issues
Since I am probably going to ask to switch from keppra and my Doctor doesnt want me on Depakote. What other meds has everyone taken for Grand Mal seizures I need to start making a list so I am prepared when I go in to the doctor to complain. He had said something about Lamictol before but I have heard some negative things about it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have been on tegretol and it did not work for me. so Ive already mentioned 4. Oh BTW my dad said I was on phenobarbitol when I was little and it made me very mean lol.
Take care everyone. Hope to hear from you!!!!

Hi Megan
I'm on Dilantin and Depakote. Maybe Dilantin would work for you?
