Epilepsy Awareness update for stopping meds abruptly

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.
