Dear Sir,
I am an Egyptian who suffers from Complex Partial Epilepsy from more than 3 years,
i tried many medicines with increasing their doses & still the seizures happens weekly,
the first medicine i used is depakine & then i added tegratol & still seizures happens.
then i withdraw tergratol & then used keppra behind depakine & still happens.
then i added lamictal & also happens.
then i added tergartal with depakine & lamictal & keppra & increased the seizures.
so, i withdraw the tegratol & it some how decreases seizures to be between 7-10 days happens
my daily dosage now
Depakine =2000
Keppra=2000
lamictal = 300
My seizures Happens as follow:
i feel my breath become low for 1 or 2 seconds & then i go to seizures i stopped for 1 minutes shewing my mouth,and after
i began asking about time , where i am , where we will go,who is here,……
then i began asking normal questions & you can say that the person in front of me feel i am semi normal
then i be in awareness slowly & after seizures i cannot identify when i be in aware.
but after attack i feel that i was in seizure
the time is about between 1-3 minutes.
something happened for me before that i was driving my car to airport then seizure happened, i drive my car for one kilo & i passed a check point & then i found my self in front of the terminal
