Is adding another medication with lamotrigine for seizures effective?

Patient's Query

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.

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

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.

My sister had a RTA last year in which she had a paraplegic spinal cord injury,she is doing physiotherapy since one year still can't walk without calipers,has no sensation,she is 20 years old

Female | 20

A spinal cord issue such as hers might result in weakness of stepping and the absence of the sense of touch. It occurs when the spinal cord sustains damage, generally from events such as a car ramming into it. Exercise makes muscles stronger, but full recovery might not be attained.

Hi doctor I have a headache everyday and it only goes away if I take painkiller (ibuprofen) why I have this?

Female | 25

The headaches have arisen regularly and are usually relieved by painkillers. They are characterized by stress, lack of sleep, or a bad posture, and therefore are often the case. It is necessary to trace the main cause. I suggest you engage in stress-relieving activities such as deep breathing, stretching, and getting proper sleep and posture. If the headaches still exist, it is crucial to consult a doctor to diagnose and prevent any hidden causes.
