Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 , I was switched on seizure medication a few times and what my neurologist had me do was take one away while adding one of the other one. Then maybe three days later I would switch out one for the other again, until I was finally on the new medication only. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 , I know nothing about weaning from one medication to another. But I do think I can give some encouraging words about your emotional condition. When you get to the point of despare, tell yourself, THIS IS A TEMPORARY STATE I AM IN. Some times we get so involed in feeling down that we do not see an end to the misery. I'm sure you often heard, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Tell yourself this: it is a passing thing. Who knows it may take some time to get you back under control with the seizures but it will happen. And if you find that this does not work go get some help from a counselor, parents, friends. Anyone who can encourage you. Suicide is not the answer, getting you at your best is the answer. My prayers will be with you and I know you will make it through the hard times to get to the good times. Hang in there kiddo.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 One other thing we've found out the hard way is that you can experience withdrawl seizures when going off meds and/or going from one med to another. If you do notice an increase in seizures, keep this in mind, because " it, too, may pass. " Most neuros don't acknowledge withdrawl seizures, although there are many who do.--D __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Care, Sharon I'm not exactly sure how this was going to help me while I was sick last week. But anyway, of course I have. I wouldn't be on this list if I hadn't. But I'm sure you know as well as I do that it's helpful to sort things out one at a time. That way you know what's helping and what's not. . ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tink: atink@... icq: 43634688 Remember, there are two things that keep us oppressed: them and us.

I think my neurologist may have told me to take too much away before I started the new one. We'll see how I go with a different neuro. . ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tink: atink@... icq: 43634688 Remember, there are two things that keep us oppressed: them and us.

Thank you for the warning, this is exactly what happened. I had seizures about every 10 minutes for 4 hours. Pretty exhausting, even though they were only absence seizures. . ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tink: atink@... icq: 43634688 Remember, there are two things that keep us oppressed: them and us.
