Can I add medication to control my epilepsy seizures?

I’m a 26 year old female who is a diagnosed epileptic. I have been taking 200mg of lamotrigine since January. However I’m still having frequent seizures and cluster seizures so I’m looking to see if I could get an additional medication prescribed alongside the lamotrigine to support my symptoms and gain more control over my seizures.

It’s important to tell a neurologist about those symptoms again. Sometimes taking another medicine such as levetiracetam or valproate can help to bring seizures under control. These drugs act in different ways to help lower the chances of having a seizure. Your doctor will be able to advise you better on what treatment plan will suit you most appropriately.

You are having stress and anxiety symptoms. Stress can result in poorer memory, anxiety, and distorted reality. Fatigue, perpetual gloom, and delusion are also possible indicators of stress. To feel better, engage yourself in some calming activities such as breathing deeply, speaking with someone you trust, or doing something you like, such as listening to music or taking a walk.

جسم کا اچانک سے سن ہو جانا ۔۔۔ پہلے کوئ مسئلہ نہیں اچانک سے جسم سن ہو جاتا ہے اس طرح کبھی کبھی ہوتا ہے مطلب جب کوئ بہت زیادہ ٹینشن ہو جائے تب

Female | 40

جسم کا اچانک سن ہو جانا کچھ وجوہات کی بنا پر ہو سکتا ہے، جیسے ذہنی دباؤ، بے حوصلگی یا جسمانی تھکاوٹ۔ جب آپ تناؤ میں ہوتے ہیں، تو جسم کی مخصوص نروز متاثر ہو سکتی ہیں، جس کی وجہ سے یہ احساس پیدا ہوتا ہے۔ اگر یہ حالت مسلسل ہورہی ہے تو بہتر ہے کہ آپ کسی ڈاکٹر سے مشورہ کریں۔ روزانہ ورزش، گہرے سانس لینے کی مشقیں یا یوگا کرنے سے مدد مل سکتی ہے۔ صحت مند طرز زندگی اپنانا بھی معاون ثابت ہو سکتا ہے۔ یاد رکھیں، صحت کا خیال رکھنا بہت اہم ہے۔
