Epilepsy medicine has to be for life in allopathy. Some herbals, alongwith your current regimen, help improve the condition without interaction. Pl talk in detail by booking call. There are chances, say in few months, that your specialist observes improvements and decides to gradually reduce antiepileptic medicine. Pl book talk.

You are on suboptimal prophylactic dosage of medicines, possibly you are experiencing subsyndromal affective symptoms. Medicines need to be titrated in you which is possible only with consultation. Moreover you need to learn chronological and behavioral aspect of disorder in order to sustain normal mood state. This is an important aspect of bipolar disorder which if taken care along with medicines makes excellent outcome.

Dear lybrate-user,
It is nice that you are fighting with depression for 20 years.
Please continue Lamictal 300 mg to prevent future episode. In each episode of depression, the input to your brain goes down. Memory has input, retention and output.

Hi, I am a chronic Major depression patient since more than 15 years. I had very severe major depressive episode 15 years back, with complete numbness of brain, unexplained fatigue, almost nil short term memory with no emotions which severely hampered my otherwise exceptionally sharp memory and cheerful initially doctor put me on flunil 40 mg and Vit E 400 IU this continued for almost 10 years even though in between I had occasional bouts of depression but never that severe as first one. Even though some improvement in mood but my memory issues like poor short term Memory, poor mental agility, severe fatigue and unexplained body pains, anxiety etc not much of improvement. Later I was put on Paroxetine 50 mg, Lamictal 300 mg, buspin 15 mg. Introduction of Lamictal helped in stabilising my mood to some extent, even though not upto desirable level. Earlier the mood used to be always well below base level. Buspin helped me in anxiety. Now the major problem is persisting poor short term memory, lack of fast grasping and process of brain. There is still lot of room for mood elevation from the current level. Kindly suggest add on medication that can elevate my mood above base level ad in particular short term memory issues. Regards.

I am 49 years old with chronic depression since last 20 years. On depression medication 50 mg paroxetine and 200 mg lamictal. During night times when I go to sleep I experience sudden involuntary jerks in my body and I am quite aware of them. My wife says you are trembling in sleep and also experience loud snoring, vague dreams and acting out the dreams like kicking and shouting. Kindly advise what could be the problem. It will be very embarrassing for me when I visit my relatives place and has to stay back at their place in night, as I shout and use abusive words in sleep almost every day. Sometimes I am aware of these things sometimes and sometimes not unless someone informs me next day. Mostly happen during early hours of morning.

Dear Lybrate user
as you have been suffering from depression since last 20 yrs, you have been taking medicine, but it seems you have not seemed counseling. It's very very important to understand that in these cases, along with the medicines, counseling is also required. Medicine will not be so effective unless you address your issues that are deep rooted inside your mind in the form of thoughts. Taking medicine is an easy option, counseling is time consuming but is very effective.
