I would like to post about my seizures that occur every 60 days to see if anyone has any ideas about the cause or causes. Could the drug that I am taking ie Trileptal and Eliquis( Blood thinner) have an impurity that builds up in my system that promotes a seizure. Now after 6 - sixty day period seizures. I have asked my Neurologist and he suggest increasing the dosage of Trileptal. I am afraid that increasing the Trileptal will just makwe the seizures every 40 days?

Considering there are over 40 types of seizures and what may be causing them is often a hard nut for anyone to crack and even if doctor gives you a cause, how can you be assured it’s accurate.
You’re probably familiar with these potential causes of seizures but I’ll name a few anyway. Have you ever been in an accident and hit your head, fall off a bike, fall down & hit head, stroke, brain infection, or other serious infection?
You mention taking Eliquis but you don’t say why. Perhaps there could be an association there. Do you have any i’m a regular reasons why eloquent group question prescribe?Irregular heartbeat, history of blood clots, Artificial joins? Half of the people with epilepsy don’t know the cause and will most likely never know.
I can certainly relate to what it’s like to not have your seizures under control.
You might want to give a dose increase a try. We just might give you the control you’re looking for. One concern with this medication is that it has caused low sodium levels which can increase seizures but as long as you get regular blood tests I wouldn’t think it should really be much of an issue. But if your seizures continue I would either change to a different medication or add @cdupont1234

What type seizures do you have?
What medications have you tried?
Has Trileptal improved your seizure frequency or their severity?
Take care of yourself,
