Eslicarbazepine vs OXCARBAZEPINE

A few weeks ago I asked whether anyone had any information or experience about whether epilepsy impacts ayahuasca. No one really had any knowledge so I thought I would do a post about my experience just incase anyone in future has the same question. I did 2 days of ayahuasca ceremonies a few days a

Hi All After years of freedom, last year took an unexpected toll, where many breakthroughs had happened. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy 10+ years ago and the first port of call was Tegretol, which was titrated to 800mg twice daily and then reduced to 600mg twice daily as it proved toxic and left fro

I figured I would share this with the community. I asked my vet (also a neurologist) if they could send a phenobarbital refill to my local Walgreens. About six hours ago I gave my dog his first dosage from this refill and he’s acting very “off” and his pupils are extremely dilated. I’ll be callin

I take 3g of Levetiracetam and 1,2g of Eslicarbazepine acetate per day. The acetate has been increase from 800mg to 1,2g in June this year and it since then I have been extremely forgetful, I have to write things down and conversations I had moments or hours before are hard to remember. Some days or

Hi everyone, good day. I’ve been seizure-free for over 3 years now, but I’m still taking my medications (eslicarbazepine, brivaracetam, and lacosamide). My doctor told me that I have a scar on my brain. I was wondering — if I were to have surgery, what are the possible outcomes? Would the scar still

I recently had a EEG that showed some stuff, my neurologist is switching me from keppra (thank fuck) onto APTIOM or eslicarbazepine acetate. I was wondering if anyone here has experience with this medication? What should I be expecting? Thank you all and stay safe

Has anyone taken either of these? The last thread to mention them are 2 and 4 years ago. I'd like to know the effectiveness and side effects that you've experienced.

My neurologist is switching me from vimpat to gabaoentin due to involuntary movements in vimpat. Any of you with focal epilepsy use this? Experience and thoughts is really welcome. Staring tomorrow. Last options are clobazam and eslicarbazepine.

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

So a while back I asked people on different online groups for questions for Dr. Zeidman. He very kindly wrote back a few days ago and here are the questions, with his resposnes. **Questions about Treatments** 1. Can IVIG still potentially help those without the specific antibodies in your study? For

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. All I can remember was having that aura (dejavu sickly feeling) and waking up in a hospital numerous times. My license was susp

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
