Call your doctor and tell them, And don't forget to take you meds. Put them some where you will see them of the morning.

Amanda,
We keep our daughter's seizure meds in a basket by the tv in the kitchen. Every morning the first thing we do is get out Beth's meds (have done this for 23 yrs.!) and turn the tv on. If you can link your pills to something you do the first thing every morning it might help you remember.
By all means take your seizure meds seriously and let the doctor in on any changes...you are half the solution to containing your seizures.
Good luck and God bless.
