I am on Levetiracetam, which is the generic for Keppra, 500 mg twice a day. This works for me. No auras now.
I have taken Tegretol before. It didn’t work for me.

I would like to try this but worried of a risk of a big seizure or increase of auras

I wonder if it can be taken with tegratol in a smaller dose maybe
I will have to ask a neurologist

My daughter's neurologist just added this medicine to her meds she's been on for 8 years. It really seems to be affecting her badly. She's 15, we started half a 500mg twice daily on Sunday. Monday I had to go pick her up from school around 10because she was extremely dizzy. She is adhd, doesn't slow down much but she missed school Tuesday and Wednesday and laid on a mat most of Thursday and Friday. Her doctor doesn't seem concerned and I've always valued his opinion but I'm not so sure if he's right with this partial medicine. Did you adjust to it easily?
