If you feel your medications aren’t working, always ask yourself these questions:
- Am I taking them regularly or am I forgetting to take them on occasion?2. Do I take them at regular times? (for example, 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.)3. Have I experienced any recent triggers, such as?
- Not enough sleep
- Occasionally drinking too much alcohol
- Recent illness (cold or flu)
- Not filling the same formulation of my medication at the pharmacy?
The nursing staff or neurologists will ask you the same questions. Your answers help us understand if your medications really aren’t working or if there are other factors
triggering recurrent seizures. If you feel you are very good at taking your medications as prescribed and cannot identify other triggers, you may need a change in what medications you take or how you take them.
