Can anyone suggest any other medication besides Keppra for seizures?

Sorry for sort of dropping out, my Dr was wonderful, but unfortunately is semi-retired so may not be available for long. They got me with a specialist in medications with the hospital. Decided to keep me on Keppra for the moment, but, I just couldn't handle it. The Keppra and I just don't click. So I had a phone conference and they got me back on the Carbamazepine for the moment, but not the extended release. The new prescription releases immediately, as I have nocturnal seizures only for the moment. Thanks for the 'checking in with me'. Big hug!

Hi @bunnyboy
Great to have news from you and to know you had a wonderful experience with this new doctor. Do not now think that he will be retired in some time, enjoy his caring, expertise, and his time in the office.
How has been with Tegretol those days? Tegretol was the AED that was the less hard for me to support, but still on a very low dosage. If I were in your place, I would ask him his opinion on Medical Cannabis. It might also be an alternative to you as it has been to me.
I do hope you have days with a larger smile on your face. Let's keep in touch!
Big hug to you as well.
Santosha
