Left temporal lobe epilepsy medications
If anyone here has left temporal lobe epilepsy and has had success with medications that have stopped your seizures please let us know which medications you’re taking. Thanks!
I have petite mal seizures and I take Lamotrigine, PHENOBARBITAL, and XCOPRI for my seizures and I normally have seizures about every 3 months but not always and am still trying to figure out what triggers me having the seizures and I have had epilepsy since I was 7 years old and am still dealing with it here at 63
I'm taking 800mg of carbamazepine and 60 mg clobazam am seizure free 13 years now except for focal here and there
I have left temporal lobe partial complex seizures. It took 13 years of trying different medications to get control of my seizures. It took a VNS and Keppra, but Onfi is the medication that controls them.
thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad you have been able to get your seizures better controlled. Wishing you good days ahead, Julie (team member)
I’m still considered “refractory” although it’s been almost 3 years seizure free. But I’m currently taking 200mg Vimpat twice daily, 400mg Zonegran, and 250mg Lamictal twice daily. The zonegran is like Topamax and gives brain fog. The Vimpat is a controlled substance that gives you double vision if you don’t eat a lot beforehand… but! I can drive and not scare anyone 😀
