Due For Sleep Deprived 2 Hr EEG. Should Regular Medicines Trileptal, Keppra And Clonapin Taken The Night Before?

I am having a sleep deprived 2 hr EEG on Monday at 8 am. My neuro happens to be on vacation until Monday. They told me to sleep about 4 hrs instead of my usual 7 the night before. We didn't discuss if I should still take all my regular meds the night before (trileptal, keppra and clonapin). The nurse said yes, but that was after I forgot to ask the doctor and I don't want to mess the test up. I do not want to do this again!!!

Hi,
Yes you need to continue your regular medicines ( trileptal, keppra and clonapin)

When you sleep less than usual ,When you are tired, there is more chance that there will be unusual electrical activity in your brain which can be picked in EEG.

Hope this will help you
