I'm kind of scared..

Question

I have JME (juvenile myoclonic epilepsy) and i was put on Lamictal 250mg. Recently, i've been having tons of side effects, i called my doctor about it, and he said just lower my dosage to 200mg. Then he said that i have to go get a blood test because he thinks there is something in my blood causing this?

Has anyone ever hear of this?

I'm really scared of what's going to happen :[

hope this helps they mention a different drug that you may want to have your doctor switch to

depakote is the name of the drug; good luck!

here's a last drug I probably will come across : http://professionals.epilepsy.com/pdfs/e...

Keppra - keppra sounds like the best drug out of all of these but I'm sure each drug works differently on each person so ask your doctor.

Valproate is another drug but gotta go research it...ah none of these drugs sound good :s
