Since October I have tried Lortab (3 strengths), gabapentin, Lyrica, Ultram, Relafen, Zonegran, and Trileptal. I am also on Cymbalta and Ambien. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I very much need an answer because my doctor will not give me a straight answer. I'm currently on Lamictal (800mg a day) and Zonegran (200mg a day) and I'm a college student so I tend to drink. I've never had a seizure while consuming alcohol but I'm terrified when doing so. So heres my question...
When I drink (beer) with my meds, will it bring on a seizure? or just enhance the side effects?
Please I very much need to know asap! Maybe even stories would helpl too.
t think of them at this time)
I am now being treated with Zonegran, Depakote. The Zonegran was working for a little while but I have seemed to reach a plateau. I have not been migraine free at all since November, but there have been times where my migraines have been less painful. I work for a health insurance company and I am on the computer for 8 hours a day. I have been unalbe to work a full time scheule for the past 3 months due to my migraines.
My son had his first seizure in Dec 07. He is 7 years old. He had a grand mal seizure in the morning while he was sleeping. He had another at the ER in which he would just turn blue and his oxygen would drop. They started him on Tripletal, but after about 4 days he wasn't doing good at all. He had another seizure where he would just lose bladder control and be out of it. We went back to the ER and they went from 100mg of Trileptal to 350mg in one dose.
He is now able to start learning, and he came off of all medication except for 75 mg of zonegran. He was on 1400mg a day. It has made a huge difference. Hope this helps.
I do not know who to go see about the aura, I had my eyes checked when the doctors were thought I had MS and I have 20-20 vision and no floaters. I presently see a neurologist who has me on zonegran 2oo mg and flexoril 3 times a day and Diflucan as needed and Maxalt. When the headaches get out of control she puts me on prednisone. I also see a physical therapist at her office weekly for the headaches. I have had trigger point injections ( did not help).
I appreciate it. I have been on depakote, topamax, lamotrigine, zonegran, gabepentin, lamictal, and keppra. Most of them make me so dopey and forgetful that working is definately a challenge. But...no work...no insurance...no medical care. What a nasty circle. I am allergic to the zonegran, blisters in my mouth etc. The others caused severe leg pain, eye pain, anorexia, hairloss, and I suppose i could go on. But you get the picture.
I am 31 year old healthy female. I work part time and have 2 small children. On Sept. 17 of 2012 around mid-morning when I began to have vision problems that included spots in my eyes and almost like a shadow fell over my left eye. I thought perhaps I was going to get a migraine since I had heard people describe them that way. The vision probs lasted about 45 minutes and when it went away a headache set in. It was what I would call a mild to moderate headache. Ever since I have a headache.

The thing is, i have been put on almost all of known anit seizure medications, none seem tobe as effective as it should be, i beleive at one time i was close to depression while on depakot, then i met a specialist who then put me on Zonegran, it worked for a couple years or so, then i moved to Las Vegas back in 03, it started again inspite the drugs, perhaps a combonation of stress, and lack of sleep could be the cause of it all?
Hi there. Everybody's OCD is different and I have to say that this is not something that I do however my sister did it for years. You and your friend need some psychological intervention. I know it is great to have somebody to talk to and who completely understands where you are coming from but the reality is this is a disorder that can be treated and there is no reason why you and your friend should be burdened with this hand washing problem. Look at it as a bonus this way...
Has anyone else developed ocd while being pregnant OMG I can't take any mess in the house I disinfect the sides all the time if I can't smell bleech I'll bleech everywhere my husband said I've gone crazy lol I clean up after his every move I can't stand it when the cusions on the sofa arnt straight and plumped or if theres even a crum on the floor the hoover and mop is out and if I'm honest the mop is making me feel like its not hygienic I feel to get a steam mop.
Hi all,my ocd has got worse over the years i have had ocd from child hood now my children have ocd for keeping things in a row me too,with me its checking locks etc doors windows cooker etc its driving me mad cause im up durinnight too checking and checking then checking and checking on my children.
My eleven year old son was diagnosed with OCD about 2 months ago. I am going crazy. He is on prozac (very little amount). He has to go next week to check the medication. He goes every week for therapy. The guidance counselor and the psychologist at school work with him. He does very well at school finally but when he gets home he follow me around CONSTANTLY asking me about anything and everything if he's okay.
