Mysoline
when i was a child (10-16) years old i was prescribed but when i left school the doctors changed my medication. why was this when mysoline was controlling my epilepsy. whilst on mysoline i was having 1 maybe 2 fits aweek but since they change my medication my fits have increased and i am unable to work
Thad,
I never was able to drive, so had to work on Bus Routes when they ran. I have 2 College Degrees, but Liberal Arts and Human Services do little good. For many years those jobs ended when the Do Not Call List was in effect. I was diagnosed with a Learning Disability in 1981.
My first medication was Mysoline, and my parents couldn’t wake me up! The ER admitted me and started me on Dilantin. I did drive because I thought was under control in college. When I change to a college my seizures apparently started up. I would drive slow on freeway. I was confused which off ramp to take. I told my Neurologist at UCLA. A week later had seizure in my statistics class. I haven’t driven since then. The Neurologist said I have many seizures. It was a birth defect.
They may of had you on the max dose and your Dr. probably was hoping ( or taking a gamble ) to find a medication that would control better. You should try and talk to you Dr. And tell him/her that you had better seizure control on it compared to the one your on now.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I was I the same boat. I lived near a city bus Route when I need to get to far destination. Also walked or rode my bike to area where I didn’t need the bus.
I also had close families.so if there were something planned with them I would get pick up by them.
