Hey folks, Im new to this even though ive had epilepsy since 2007. Ive only ever been on Lamictal and its only ever increased. Im now on 400mg also, 200 am and 200pm. My issues is that I basically bring the epilepsy upon myself. Due to my age, I have a very social and active life. It does include drinking and late nights on weekends. I have of course tried my best to keep it to a minimum, but around 5-6 times a year, I go too strong or I miss some meds and end up paying the price. Im the youngest of 4 and the only one to have Epilepsy. For me, te worst is the auras before even though it is a handy warning sign. I do have a cist and my neurologist says I could go for surgery to remove it and see if it helps, but is it worth it if i can control my seizures? Im not quite so sure. I do have one Question, i live in dublin and my neurologist is N.tubridy, I was wondering is there anyone here who has him too? Also if they have one in dublin too and find them really good? Thanks

Sorry, I meant 250 x2 daily
