Hello,
you have not mentioned the symptoms for which these medicines were prescribed for you. These are psychotherapeutic medicines and have varied uses. To advise you about he use of medicines without knowing the reason why they were prescribed is not correct. Quetaipine (mind q is used for mild psychotic symptoms and lonazep is used for anxiety. I advise you to go to yur doctor who prescribed these medicines and ask for review.

Hello,
the dosage is not clear to me, tegritol is usually administered as 10 mg/kg body weight three times a day, and levera can be given upto 3 gm / day. Unfortunately levera is known to have behaviour problems and aggressiveness could be its side effect. You will require review of your medication and I suggest you consult your doctor who prescribed these drugs to you or come back to me with full details of the seizures and medication in correct dosage.

Hello,
there are many choices for control of seizures as a long term management of seizures and many new anti epileptic medication are available which can control seizures, if you mention her weight and the doses of each medicine I am sure her seizures can be controlledcbd oil has unproven track record and I feel it is better to streamline her anti epilepileptic medication.

There are many types of seizures. A person with epilepsy can have more than one type of seizure. The signs of a seizure depend on the type of seizure. Sometimes it is hard to tell when a person is having a seizure.
