My mother has epilepsy and has had it since her childhood. She was taking dilantin for a very long period of time til her GP told her it was more damaging than good for her. After lots of testing she decided to see a neurologist that put her on Keppra and topomax. after 3 months he decided to implant a machine in her throat that sends little shocks of electrodes to her brain. It was working well, but as they have been weaning her off the meds the setting for the device has had to be turned up more and more at each check up. She has now had it on the highest setting for over 2 months... Thursday she was put on a new Japanese medication to wean her completely off of the Topomax and eventually off her Keppra.... Unfortunately Saturday she had a seizure, and Sunday she had two. One of which caused her to wreck her car.... Her neurologist is out of town for the week, and I figured i'd do some research, but I don't know and neither does she the name of the Jampanese medication she was just put on.
