I'm taking Trileptal, Keppra and Clorazapate.
But I would be careful in increasing dosages, you might get overdosed. Let your neurologist or doctor decide.

Example, in 2005, they had to increase my Trileptal dosage by 50mg because I was gaining weight, but in 2010, I lost that weight and my Trileptal was adjusted because someone saw me as if I was "under the influence (of alcohol)". I talked that with my neurologist and he wanted to follow up with me in a month to seek if it worked.

So I would kind of do your home work first before you leap. Ask for copies of your doctor's notes BEFORE adjusting any doages of your medicine. Just saying.
