Hi @motobee
I have not heard from you for a while.
How has life been treating you? Have you been able to sleep better?
Looking forward to your news!
Have a beautiful day 🌻

Everyone with epilepsy must understand the risks of stopping seizure medications abruptly or too quickly. I made that mistake at 15, thinking I knew better, and it nearly cost me my life. I ended up in status epilepticus and was placed in an induced coma for eight months. I lost all my memories, with my first recollection being March 14, 1971— the day a hit-and-run drunk driver caused my father to become a C-5 complete quadriplegic.

As @motobee pointed out, it is critical to never stop seizure medications without proper medical guidance. I had a psychologist friend who experienced status epilepticus in his driveway—not due to stopping medication but because it can happen unexpectedly. Unfortunately, he fell behind his garbage cans, and no one was there to help him, leading to a tragic outcome.

It's imperative that people take our warnings seriously. Stopping these medications quickly or without a doctor’s supervision can have devastating consequences. I'm not saying it always happens but why take a potentially deadly chance. Please prioritize your health and safety.

Take care,
Jake
