I have a seizure disorder and was initially put on Levitiracetam (keppra)) but it didn't work very well so about 6 weeks ago I was switched to Lamotrigine (Lamictal). I've now had to stop taking it as I was experiencing intolerable side-effects.
What other medications are available to treat seizures? I'd like to hear from anyone else who has been on anti-seizure medication. What were your experiences with different meds? What worked for you and what didn't?
I'm thinking of asking my GP if I can get Gabapentin because I also have neuropathic pain so it'd be killing two birds with one stone (three if it also helps my anxiety).
