I take 600 mg of Dilantin and 1,000 of Keppra (the doctors tried to
raise Keppra up to 1500 but I had too many side effects).  I have had a
lot of people tell me that is a large dose for someone my age (I am 17,
going on 18 in 2 mon).  Since you all take meds sort-of like mine at

Dear List Members,
There are people with epilepsy who do not drive such as me and would like to
make it down to one's local Blockbuster or Hollywood Video to rent movies but
have no way of getting there.  So, I found on the Net as some of you may have

I have Temporal Lobe epilepsy from a TBI in 92. Started with dilantin
and have been on several combo's since. I have been on 1800 mgs
tegretol combined with 4000 mgs of depakote since 1995. Sometimes I
took an extra 200mgs if needed.

Just a small question for you guys.  A couple of weeks ago -actually it
happened on Saturday, February 14, 2004 I got a huge epileptical seizure
(because of stress / alcohol / lack of sleep / etc.). My question is how
long does ones body in general need to recover from this as I am ...

What is the difference - if any of XR and CR Tegretol? Those are the
two I have. Also, I am curious if it's possible to have XR and CR in
tablet form. The stuff I get from my doctor is in capsule form. (blue
and black) the stuff I get from Canada is tablet form Long oval shape

I have been on keppra 3000mg and lamictal 400mg in the last 3 months.
actually i have been both of these dosages for about 18 months, but
lately have stopped trileptal. my dosage has always been high. maybe
when i started on the dose i was too stoned to remember initially, but

Anyone had experience starting on 1000mg per day and increasing to 2000/3000
per day?  What were the pros and cons of your increase?  The literature I've
read on Keppra lead me to believe that frequency of side effects increases
significantly with dosage level.  I'm on 1000mg and ...

I know almost everyone in the group has faced this, so I want to share my
dilemma even though I know I have to make this decision alone. I went to the
neuro last week (can't even remember which day it was) and he thinks I
should increase my Tegretol dosage, from 1000 to 1200 per day ...

Ok what everyone has said was really scary. Um, i will definatly get a
referal to a neurologist now. If not from my psychatrist tommorrow then i
will go see my GP and get the referal.
Will i be able to resume driving with further treatment? what would that

cause epileptic seazures?
Thank you.

Hey all. How is everyone going?
Im chris, i dont have Epilepsy but rather i have Bipolar. Ive been reading a
lot of information sugesting that bipolar is linked to Epilepsy and vice
versa, i guess this information is controversial but i dont know.

Hey all i just read the responses to my post. i should go on further from
what i stated. Im 22 now, I am male (not female which was talked about hehe)
a law student, doing well i guess, I dont believe my parents have ever
neglected me, as a child i was taken to doctors and so on, I ...

I have posted here before, and received many warm responses and sensible
advice, so I’m insinuating myself again--tomorrow is the eighth
anniversary of my son’s traumatic brain injury that left him with a
seizure disorder.  On this occasion, I usually do a little damage to my
