Epilepsy
"I&#039;ve been on an ever-increasing dose for over a year now; this med doesn&#039;t want to stay in my system. I&#039;m currently at 2k mg/day, and it still doesn&#039;t register in the blood test as a therapeutic dose. Despite this, even when I first started at very low doses, I had immediate reactions. Some very bad; killed my immune system and I got a cough so bad I cracked 2 ribs. Some very good; somehow, my long-distance vision improved. Neurologist suggested I&#039;m in a state of &quot;near-constant aura&quot; from migraines and this med reduced that, along with some facial numbness I didn&#039;t know I had until it went away. Seizures are controlled while it&#039;s in my system."
