What to do now
Thu, 06/02/2005 - 07:41Can anyone help i've been on quite a few mixtures of different tablets unfortnatly they havent worked i have complex partial seizures , but this lot is the last one i was on they were trilepleptal ( 6 weeks) ,tegretol retard(2 and half years) and keppra (18 months) i had a reaction to trileptal and had to come off them also they have took me off the tegretol so im just left with keppra, its not doing any good im having a seizure up to twice a day i dont see my neuro until July 6 but in the mean time i had some bad news yesterday that my dad has Cancer. Im now worried that because im not on enough meds and with the stress of my dad i will start to have more seizures and wont be any good to anyone. Can someone suggest anything. Ive tried talking to my nurse but she says just hang on in there and try the keppra on its own,
deep down i no its not gunna do any good, please any ideas wil be most welcome

Good Morning,
First, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.. What kind of vitamins do you take? My son is on B-Complex, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Mag, calcium, Folic acid and a good multi vit. This is so important. Please watch your diet that is so important. We are lowering my son off of Trileptal and he will only be on Keppra also. I'm upping his vit. though.
Since you are under so much stress I really think the B-complex and Omega 3 fatty acids would really help. Just my opinion. Good Luck and God Bless Kristi
