CENOBAMATE vs OXCARBAZEPINE

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

People often write here, with great specificity, about the the symptoms of their medication. I've tried lots of medicine over the years and apart from Keppra, which kind of wiped me out, I wouldn't say any have had really noticeable side-effects. I experience lots of the feelings that people write a

This post is a bit long, I'm sorry. I basically just want to know about your experiences with Xcopri and maybe get some perspective or advice (I know, of course, that you most probably are not healthcare professionals). 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

Hey all, I’ve been on this sub for a while now and I’ve noticed that almost every mention of Keppra is a negative one. However, my experience with the drug has been very good and I’d like to share it. I was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy fifteen years ago. For the first few years I was o

All I see, are horrible stories about Keppra — I’m not sure if I’ve seen or heard from anyone with a positive experience. Is there any body out there that likes it?!? Tell me about it, please? I think I’m going on it soon…. I’ve (42m w/ TLE) just recently switched from carbamazepine to oxcarbazepin

Hello. I just wanted to share my experience with overcoming grand mal seizures. As soon as I graduated from High School, I started having seizures when I was 19 years old.

Hello fellow pharmacists! Due to USP <800>, we have to crush hazardous meds (warfarin, finasteride, oxcarbazepine, etc.) that are administered via feeding tube in the chemo hood. However, no one seems to know what BUD to give to the final product. The BUD I’ve seen ranges anywhere from 30 days
