I started having seizure from august 2019 and since that I have had 10 seizures but for the past 5 months I have been using carbamazepine and I use that every morning but recently I used it in the morning and later at night, I had seizure while I was sleeping and my bp went high. And after 3-4 hrs it came back to normal. Now the doctor I met prescribed azitop 500 mg and he is treating me of cerebral malaria and brain infection, just in case I have an infection in the brain, I have been told to do the ct scan but I have been unable to because of the location and its hard driving to the city. And ever since I started taking the azitop 500 mg together with the carbamazepine at night before bed. I find it hard falling asleep, and I have headache. And I also feel like my brain is working so fast. Please I need advice on what to do. I am tired of having a seizure. I am worried because I was told I will be on the antibiotic drug for a while but he never told me how long. And I don't think its a good idea. Please what can I do.

What is cause of your seizure need to determined first. Otherwise proper seizure control. Is not possible. It seems that you are having a long standing seizure disorder. Further proper choice of anti-seizure medication depends on the type of seizure you had. Anti-biotics are not effective for seizure control, as of today there is no evidence of using azitop for prolonged duration in any kind of seizure. I think you should stop it.

Unfortunately some of these medications cause weight gain. Tegrital though is better. Please ensure diet control and exercise. Pleasexsee your doctor if you gained weightcas your Tegrital dose may need to be adjusted. Look for thyroid disease

Hi M'am
Many a times we hesitate to speak out to our family, friends or close ones, but we easily do it with strangers According to me a many problems solve with long conversations, where we pour our heart out, doing this our mind and heart both feel light and refreshed.
I suggest you to take your son to a psychologist, let him/her diagnose the level of the problem, if it can be resolved just with counselling sessions or therapies it will be wonderful, if not then only a psychologist wil...more

Tegrital plain you can take but you have to take two times at half the dose you r taking currently. Cr is a long acting medicine where as plain tegrital is a short acting one. Better you consult your regular gp before changing the medicine as it may lead to fluctuations in levels in blood.

Dear lybrate-user,
1. You are suffering from epilepsy which means two or more unprovoked seizures. At times seizures recur after a gap of 1-2 years and stopping medication. The seizures in your case are not due to a tumour and and it is not likely that you will have a tumour now after the onset 6 years back. Please be confident about not having atumour and take the medicines prescribed regularly.
