Be careful reducing or eliminating meds, I had a grand mal seizure when I missed my meds 24 hours.
I was hospitalized overnight with an unrelated issue. It was the weekend and they couldn't get approval for my seizure meds. They refused to give it to me all the next day and made me feel like a drug addict when I kept asking for it. I had a grand mal seizure when I got home that night. I had difficulty talking and unable to walk with out help for 24 hours. I take 600 mg of Trileptal and 400 mg of Lamictal

Mine were different. I passed out. So doc put me on 1000 mg a day. Serbs like a lot. I reduced it myself to 500. Have t had an episode on 14 years . Good luck to you
My heart goes out....I've experienced the same feeling of being a street addict when I try to explain the need for my seizure meds and when I need to take them~!! Now, if I know I'm going to the hospital...I've been known to take a days supply to cover myself for 24 hours. I'm 82 now..seizure free....but want to stay that way...and as you get to be my age you aren't concerned with the hospital's reaction~!!😕💞

Hi @tonyde
I am very sorry to hear about this experience you had, as this could have been avoided. But now, take good care of yourself, be kind to your body and mind, and rest.
My best vibrations to you!!!
