Common Questions and Answers about Seizure medications pain control

A facial pain specialist is the best doctor to seek out or a neurologist. I suggest a facial pain specialist first because all they do is treat people with TN.

S. practices the drill is only to prescribe medications to control siezures after the third documented siezure. That is not to say the medication is innapropriate. There are many unanswered questions regarding the patient's symptoms and general medical status.
The pain appears to get worse following seizure events. He has be having a run of CPS recently and the pain is becomming intollerable for him. No one can tell us why he is having so much pain or what is causing it therefore nothing is done for it. I have tried drugs like brufen and panadol and panadeine. He claims these do nothing and refuses to take them for that reason. I need to stop his pain somehow.
Gabapentin is not a narcotic and is not a substitute for opiates like Oxycodone. Opiates are still the best pain control medications available.
Gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica) are similar medications that modulate pain transmission in the nervous system, but gabapentin and pregabalin utilize a different chemical pathway than opiates.

My husband was initially on dilatin for seizure control. This is a dirty drug. Based on our and other brain tumor survivors consensus, we like Keppra the best for seizure control. Another anti-epileptic drug is Tegretol.
Ask your doc about adding Keppra or Tegretol and weaning off of Dilatin. Another reason he may have put your husband indefinetly on Dilatin is because it is available via IV.
Due to brain damage from surgery I have temporal lob seizures I was put on gabapentin and depression occurred. I am looking for something that would control the seizures without depression. Help with any idea! Thanks
Would Dilatin help with this type of seizure?
AV stands for arteriovenous malformation. I no longer take any drug. The doctors are more concerned about giving me seizure meds when i ve been without seizures for long time. The seizures were caused by av malformation now removed.Headaches are now caused by scar tissue on brain.The growth was according to surgeon almost twice the size of golf ball.The couple of pain meds they gave me didnt work or caused side effects almost as bad as headaches.
Lastly, there are other medications that can interact with tramadol and make a seizure more likely. If she is taking other medications along with the tramdol, consider visiting www.****.com and go to their drug interaction checker. Enter all of her medications including the tramadol and print out the results and bring it to the ER physician and her prescribing physician for a discussion.
Good luck and I hope that she doesn't have any more seizures.
s mother may require opiates to control her cancer pain if the current medications are not providing her relief. Often MS Contin is prescribed or a fentanyl patch or even Oxycontin, much depends on her physician and her specific medical needs. Her daughter may want to accompany her mother on her next visit to her physician. She may not be sharing the extent of her discomfort with her physician.
It is very difficult to watch those we love so much suffer with pain.
we discontinued tegretol because of these unbearable side effects, we tried many more meds until we found keppra, which has been a blessing! Seizure control and no adverse side effects! My point is birdy, there are many other meds out there, if you aren't happy with the way you are feeling on your current meds talk to your dr about trying something different, and if your dr doesn't want to help you-find one that will.

I am a Type II diabetic (diagnosed 10 years ago) on metformin (1,000 mg. daily) and prandin (2 mg with meals). I have been diagnosed with a heart problem and have been exercising regularly as part of cardiac rehab. I have been experiencing frequent sugar lows, resulting in blurred vision and dizzyness. Last week, I awoke in the hospital after having diabetic seizures. I remember feeling weak and taking some glucose tablets. Apparently these weren't enough to ward off the seizure.
Month ago I had a seizure while sleeping where I lost control on urination and i ignored it (I didn't even understand that this could be a seizure or what is a seizure!) , till now I had 3 seizures while sleeping but without urination problem and I got simple seizures while I am awake ( sometimes I just loss concentration and i just focus at nothing ) the Dr.
The choice of med depends on the type of seizure disorder, and some people require two meds (polytherapy) to achieve good seizure control. Meds are really the only way to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures, though some people have seizure triggers (flashing light, for instance) and so avoiding triggers is important for them.
