Zonegran & Lamictal

Hi Ann,
What type of seizure that you have? I'm very interested in your experience with these 2 meds. My daughter is 8 yrs old, she has partial seizures like body jerk, blank stare, and recently she is just froze for 1-2 seconds when she has seizure. She was on each med for a while but, lamictal causes more jerk movements and zonegran makes her insomnia and high temp. Now the doctor puts her low dose of these 2 meds together. but it's too early to tell whether it will work..
Sounds like it works well for you.

have you been tested for level of vitamins? I was having memory and word association problems and it ended up I was b12 anemic. It's common that AEDs deplete the body of vitamins so I take 1000mcg of B12, 500mg of folate, 500mg Vitamin C and a liquid vitamin supplement w/ the rest of my B vitamins in it. I have to get bloodwork done soon to make sure I don't need injections.
