Honestly no I didn’t check with anything on meds just assumed I shouldn’t take them together. I am hard headed and don’t like to take any meds prescribed or not lol. I am having a hard time facing this ordeal as it is due to nobody in my family that I know of has this issue. Found out in my 30’s I don’t know my who my father is. Also other than work the other day all have been at night in my sleep around 3/4am even with CPAP machine I sleep an average 6 hours or less nightly don’t nap etc. I M having a hard time accepting anything due to trying to do the right thing nd keep having troubles and making bills that are outrageous lol and new doctor did Evisit and going to try a new med and seemed very nice and hopefully will help get answers unlike the last one that stated I had a pattern. Thank you for your reply I highly appreciate it.

Hi @crissyh76
I'm very happy to hear you had a good appointment with your new doctor.
Getting an epilepsy diagnosis is never easy. I struggled after my diagnosis and during early treatment. Accepting my epilepsy and its impact on my life took some time. An excellent neuropsychologist was invaluable in guiding me through that process.
I agree with @jakedduck1—focus on your treatment, getting well, and getting your seizures under control rather than on what caused your epilepsy. Nobody in my family has epilepsy either, and as I've learned, about 60% to 70% of people with epilepsy don't have a genetic cause.
What medication did your new doctor prescribe? Did they provide any new information about your diagnosis?
