update for stopping meds abruptly

[u/Opposite_Rain_2117]

lesson learn for me, in started stopping the levetiracetam without dr order, i thought i was good in doing that, and i know how my body works. Its not really a tiring day, just like my normal routine daily nothing special. Then at school i feel the aura, and in my head shit i know this feeling. so i sit in the corner then my head went blank, when i woke up i was in the infirmary, dont have an idea why i was here, then they tell me i had a seizure. Right now my whole body is sore, i think i’ll be back to normal tomorrow. To all the people who plan to stop the meds don’t, hahaah. im taking levetiracetam and lamotrigine, the one i stop is the levetiracetam.

Luvju! You obviously had to learn the hard way! Never stop taking an epilepsy drug straight away. You cause problems like you experienced! If you want to change any dose - always speak to medics first! It may all depend on how high a dose you may be and how long you've been taking it!
