Can anyone help me... I am having a really terrible time since developing
Epilepsy late on in life, i.e., 32.

Have been on several different meds, combination and singular treatments,
and had some horrible side affects with most.

So I was mighty happy when I discovered Tegretol combined with Keppra gave
me some relief from the numerous seizures I was having.

Recently tho my seizures are back, not just as bad as they were but I am
worried that things may be changing.

On Wednesday (as in yesterday) I seen my GP, had bloods done to check LFT
and Tegretol levels. My LFT has always been slightly high, but not
dangerously so.

So today I got a call from a strange Doctor telling me that my Tegretol
therapeutic levels are very high, he explained to me that anything above a
10 had no useful affect? And that was it, he left saying he'd contact my own
GP about the matter... so now I have a 100 questions, like can someone
explain to me what this means, does it mean am I getting nothing from the
meds anymore, have I become immune to them or do I just need a lesser dose
than my consultant has me on and what is the dangers of having a high
therapeutic level? Sorry I know I have so many questions... its just I would
like some info before my doctor gets back to me.

My daily AED doses are - Tegretol 900 mills daily (300 * 3 times a day)
Keppra 2000 mills daily (1000 * 2 times a day) does these doses seem high to
anyone?

Stay well, and thanks in advance for any help you can give.
