Is adding another medication with lamotrigine for seizures effective?
I have diagnosed epilepsy, and I currently take 200mg of lamotrigine. I am still experiencing frequent seizures and also cluster seizures. I would like to discuss if I would have any options to add another medication alongside lamotrigine to try and control my seizures.

You’re still having seizures despite taking lamotrigine. It’s a medication commonly used for epilepsy. When seizures continue, adding another medication may help control them. Your doctor may suggest options such as levetiracetam or valproic acid. These medicines work in different ways to prevent seizures. Discuss with your doctor to find the best option for you.

i hit my head three months ago. it was bleeding and i went to the hospital. they did a CAT scan, said no bleeding on the brain, it was deep but no stitches and no sign of concussion. Now three months later i have tenderness and pain where i hit my head
Male | 73
After an impact to the head, some lingering discomfort and tenderness is quite typical. This could stem from a small patch of scar tissue forming at the injury site. Applying cold packs and taking pain medication can provide relief. However, if the pain persists or intensifies, consulting a neurologist would be advisable for further assessment.

Am getting sudden pain on back of my head which lasts for hardly 10 sec and this happens the whole day with an interval of half an hour though the heaviness of my head is constant but the pain which last for short term is very severe and feels like someone is stabbing my head Am experiencing it from past 2 days
Female | 18
Tension headaches bring acute head pain, often at the back. It's stabbing, short-lived. Stress, poor posture, or eye strain may trigger it. Drink enough water. Take breaks from screens to rest eyes. Try relaxation methods. If the symptoms persist, see a neurologist.

Hi there, I'm a 34 year old woman, and I've been experiencing a persistent headache behind my ear on the right side. It's been bothering me for the past week, and I'm starting to get concerned. The pain is sharp and seems to be concentrated in that area. I've tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but they don't provide much relief. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar issue or if there are specific treatments or remedies I should consider for this headache behind my ear on the right side. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Female | 34

Frequently numb hands or tingling feelings in the hands may indicate carpal tunnel syndrome. It happens when the median nerve, which travels from your forearm to your hand through a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel, is squeezed or compressed. It is recommended that you consult a neurologist early enough for proper treatment.

Female | 23
It is quite normal to experience headaches due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth. However, headache shooting coupled with chest and throat pain should not be ignored. It is essential to eliminate the fear of serious conditions, such as postpartum preeclampsia or infections. You should go for a medical evaluation as soon as possible to find out the cause and the right treatment.

Male | 23
Memory trouble following a blow to the head might be due to the way it affects your brain. When the brain’s tissues become injured, this can impact its ability to store and recall information. Sometimes these kinds of injuries need time to heal so make sure you’re getting plenty of rest and eating well while also seeing your neurologist for regular check-ups. They might even recommend certain therapies designed specifically for improving memory.

Headaches that last long are tough. You might have migraines. They bring throbbing aches, noise/light bothers you, feeling nauseous. Stress, hormones, and foods can cause them. Try relaxing, sleep routine, note triggers. If it doesn't ease, see a doctor. Managing migraines takes effort but help is out there.
