Hi again- we've been away visiting family in NC and haven't checked messege board. He was told to take one pill two times a day- 12 hours apart. That was a total of 600 mg. While we were away he decided to take half a pill during the day and a whole one at night. He just can't function. He goes for some tests on Thursday so I guess he'll talk to the doctor then. He is so frustrated trying to figure out why he has these seizures. He's come up with a few theories- stress( he was extremely stressed out all 3 times- mentally)He gets headaches alot- maybe a axis problem in his spine. He wonders if they have anything to do with his dream pattern. He was tired the day of the seizure, coaching at a day long wrestling tournament, but he has tournaments like that one all season long. He was very keyed up though. Lots of bad calls by officials that made him yell till his veins were popping out!!! That's not like him either. He is pretty mild mannered. He drinks a decent amount of fluids- not that much. Mostly water and gatorade. He is fairly active-more last year than this year though. He ran the NY marathon last year but since then hasn't been running consistantly. He's a phys ed teacher, lifts, plays softball, golf and while coaching wrestling and soccer, gets a fair amount of exercise. I'm worried he is going to take himself off the medicine completely. I can't sleep at night... waiting for him to have a seizure. I was so scared. Thanks for listening and all the advice.
