Hi there, i had a brain injury in feb and havent had any seizures yet but i was told in order to get back to driving/work etc i might have to take an anti-seizure medication. What medications are there? And i was told by someone else that they will slow down my recovery. because they are stimulants? in what way would they slow it down?
They worked for a few days or weeks somewhat, but she always went back to her usual 6-10 a day. Once we combined two anti-seizure meds and she had more seizures. 6 months ago we found out that another daughter had celiac disease, so I put first daughter on a gluten-free diet. At first nothing happened for about a month. Then her seizures increased tremendously but as they were increasing in number, they were decreasing in severity. Then they started going away.
Hi!
Lupus is an autoimmune disorder. So the cause is actually not known. Lyme's cannot cause lupus. But yes, certain medications like certain antibiotics used in Lyme's, certain anti-seizure medications, and anti-TB drug Isoniazid can cause lupus like reactions.
Hope this helps. Take care!
It may not be because of weaning. I started getting TN pain 4 months or so after my Gamma Knife treatment. It just didn't work for me and I am still on my medication.
An NSAID is good for inflammation, Anti-Seizure (like Lyrica, Neurontin or Topamax) medications are good for nerve pain. If Lyrica made your fiance too drowsy, Topamax might be a better alternative. This is what I take instead. It's in the same class, but has different side effects. Many people do not get as drowsy. Muscle relaxers can help too.
Everyone's cocktail is different, because everyone's reacts differently to medications.

Your husband just absolutely positively never touch alcohol again. In the United States most practicioners don't provide anti-seizure medications until the third seizure. You have a life-threatening situation. These episodes mandate revocation of a drivers license is every state in the U.S. until at least a year has gone by without seizures. An accident with a car and a history of seizures is a felony, notwithstanding the danger to others.
Evening primrose oil may lower the seizure threshold and use is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders, schizophrenia, or individuals receiving anti-seizure or anti-psychotic medications. Therefore, before using this herbal supplement for hair loss I would consult your doctor to see if it is appropriate or if they can recommend something else due to you taking Seroquel (which is classified as an anti-psychotic agent).
Dilantin was toxic to me in even small doses...it made me so sick. That was the first medication I ever tried and it didn't really help so my nuerologist kept increasing my dose despite what I was telling him. Then he put me on Tegretol which caused me to have major balance issues and night paralysis, every night, several times a night...very disturbing.
He also said that we could try giving her anti-convulsant medications -- Frisium -- whenever she gets a fever to reduce the possibility of a seizure. We found him rather alarmist and are really opposed to medicating her if it is not necessary. Does this make any sense? We plan to go back to NYC to visit a pediatric epilepsy center for an evaluation but will not be able to do so for some weeks.
I have stage 4 Ovarian. There are medications like Lyrica for Neuropathy. There are also anti seizure drugs such as Neurotin which are used for nerve pain.
Yes, Benzodiazepines are infact used to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders- however it is NOT an anti-/seizure convulsant based medication... It is actually considered a mild tranquilizer(sedative) that works by slowing down the central nervous system. Also, Benzodiazepine's are not the first choice for the treatment for seizure disorders. Studies have also shown that prolonged use of Benzodiazepine's in the long run for such disorders becomes less effective..
3 weeks ago, after a prolonged seizure, my 16-month old daughter came into a deep sedation status. After the anti-seizure medications were reduced or even stopped, she did not wake up. As of today, she is still in a deep sedation (or light coma) mode. She is responding to pain by withdrawing her legs or arms, and her eyes do move from side to side when they are open. However, she has no reaction to stimulus such as light, sound, moving objects, etc.
Topical doxepin and caspasin cream are also helpful for neuropathic itching. Anti-seizure medications found to be useful for neuropathic itching include neurontin and lyrica. It is very important that in neuropathic itching narcotics such as dilaudid, vicodin, percocet etc be avoided as these are well known to cause itching as a side effect and to worsen neuropathic itching.
I recommend you continue to follow-up with your neurologist regarding the optimal treatment of your symptoms.
These include, for example, anti-seizure medications if your dog begins to have seizures, and the use of anti-inflammatories to try to shrink the inflammation in the brain caused by the tumor.
The constraints placed on treatment are generally limited to your funds. An MRI and eventual surgery both require anesthesia, and are costly. The outcome can be very good since this cancer does not metastasize. Radiation is also helpful, but requires multiple treatments, and is also costly.
Have you been prescribed anti convulsants for the same? Have you been seizure free post medications or is the therapy and the dosages well titrated? if so, you could travel with the airway authorities apprised about your medical condition. You could also have a medic alert to generally make the onlookers more careful in case you throw a seizure during travel. If your seizures are not well controlled despite drugs, you must not travel.
