Hi, I was just hoping for some advice, or hearing if anyone else has had a similar experience, please? I have temporal lobe epilepsy, and take 250mg of Lamotrogine twice a day, 1.5g of Levetiracetam twice a day, and 200g of Cenobamate once a day. I have occasional seizures, maybe about 1 a week o

It used to be super complicated to have it be covered in my country but not anym
I wanted to share my experience because there is a lot of scary / negative stories online about Cenobamate. Before I started taking it I almost talked myself out of it after reading stories online. I had to go on it because I tried every other drug and nothing was working, my seizures got worse or I
Hi, I’m interested to know other people’s experiences regarding Cenobamate. I was seizure free for over two years until two days ago when I had a focal aware seizure. I’ve then had four more today, only lasting a few seconds each. I currently take 10mg of Clobazam at night but have tried Lamotrigine
Hi all! I’ve been seizure free for 5 months (typically 1 per 6 months for 5 years). I have strong side effects that began with the addition of Lamotrigine to Carbamazepine. We’ve been reducing the Lamotrigine to see if that helps, but it hasn’t. Has anyone any experience with this interaction? What

We have a patient who we've compounded clobazam 1mg/mL suspension for for years and years. It's just crushed clobazam tablets in 1:1 Ora-Plus and Ora-Sweet. We compound 1 month's worth at a time.
