My Neurologist Weened Me Off Of Keppra For My Seizures

My neurologist weened me off of keppra for my seizures a couple of weeks ago. And I ended up having three seizures in 30mins. Because I was just taking lamactial by itself. The hospital upped my dosage of keppra to 200ml twice a day and 75mg of lamactial twice a day. Now he has me taking 100ml of keppra and 200mg of lamactial twice a day. My question is..if I run out of my keppra will the lamactial be enough to keep my seizures at bay?because after I m done with the keppra I have no more refills and I m scared I m gonna end back in the hospital with seizures again

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the second molecule being added to control the seizure then it means that single drug may not be helpful and you need to take both the medicine for to control the seizure, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
