You do not. It’s like rolling the dice. Remember the medication and procedures people with epilepsy go through are experimental. Scientists are trying to learn how the brain function.

Thanks all. I'm on HBP meds, antidepressants, and 3 aeds. Sometimes I can tell symptoms of a new drug being introduced but interactions with the others always worrying. And given that they can stop working or wrong dosage not easy to know

I get so much anxiety when introducing new drug or changing dosages. Those days I usually try and do littlest as possible just to get a vibe on how my heads doing. But body a little harder to detect..the stomach issues, shaking, night sweats/cold chills. I can sometimes wake-up to complete wet sheets but I'm bundled up quivering. Any med at any given time can start cause symptoms. Still, I'll take them over having the seizures

I don't know, but I try different things and Google the meds to see the side effects. Mostly from experience with them to get answers. Just like foods and my reactions to my skin getting rash. Or my gaining weight again that I am sure is a medicine that I took before because I am on before and am taking it again and having the same problem again
