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?
s prescribe some diazipan just in case...going back in two weeks...started making a journal and made a list of things to do.
I am concerned about starting such a young kid on strong pain medications. I would love to work out the cause of the pain. We use heat packs and he has hot showers in the mornings to get him going. I have been trying to teach him meditation because it works for me. I suffer with a similar type of generalized pain of my muscles and joints and no one has been able to tell me why. It scares me that it may be something I have passed on but my pain did not start until I was in my 30s.
Hello snoopy, welcome to the forum. Have you decided what you are treating on? All orals or triple with incivek or victrelis? More information might help others respond. You may also wish to update your profile with any specifics so in the future when you have questions, people will know your geno, stage, etc.
In general terms you should be researching your treatment options and risks.
Yesterday I started my Zoloft, starting at 50mg. Within a couple hours I was shaky, which sucked since I was at work. Later that day I started to have a bit of chest pain. Once I was able to relax it went away. Later I woke up at 5am and found it a bit hard to breathe, kind of like I couldn't catch my breath. Do these symptoms sound familiar to any other Zoloft users? Do these feelings go away?
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum,
We do have a list of Drs but they are NS's not NL's....the list is on here as a thread....it should be on the main page, if you have a problem finding it let me know.
Use the list to research Drs and mayb get a name of a NL they work with as many NS's do have a NL they work with....the list is not a referral nor an endorsement for those on the list, it is only meant to be used as a starting point in your research.
As of now I can only record my seizures as a journal entry in other trackers, eg, sleep, migraines. I would be quite handy if they had their own separate page with a list of possible precursors (eg jolts, feeling strange, fogginess etc) and triggers (eg lack of sleep, extreme stress, flickering lights etc)
Any chance this could become a reality soon?
Thanks for working on it.
Other factors may also be contributory such as stress or certain triggers like food, weather, hormones, or medications. Have this evaluated further by your neurologist for proper management. Pain medications may also help.
Take care and do keep us posted.
My GP was just saying one of our upcoming projects is to put my med list "on a diet." It will be tough, but the rationale is in line with your thoughts; otherwise I guess things could just keep piling and piling on and you're not even sure what's helpful anymore. I think my gameplan will be to reduce dosages or eliminate meds one at a time so I can isolate what the effects are and back up if/when needed, rather than starting over from scratch.
Some people may have a focal seizure which may then secondarily generalize into a grand mal seizure. Others may have multiple foci for seizures, but this is less common.
The majority of seizures can be effectively managed with medication. If you are on a medicine and it is maxed out, another medication can be added. Once you have failed (either by not being controlled or not tolerating the medication) several medications, epilepsy surgery may be an option.

* My wife is a type A and has been very stessed of late due to starting a new medical practice and having a baby. Due to the seizure she is not driving.
Here are our questions / concerns:
1) Although we still don't know all the facts, we are skeptical of going on a drug that affects your brain when she has only had one seizure. The doctor kept saying she should be "in treatment" but wouldn't elaborate on what would happen if she didn't take the drugs.
Common causes include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, statins (cholesterol medications), antiepileptics (seizure medications), and antituberculous medications. Then, the physician can prove the medication is the cause by stopping the medication and observing return of the enzyme levels to normal.
