Good morning. I am writing about an unusual case.
For almost 30 years I have been suffering from post-traumatic epi (two hematomas, trepanation, codubix plaque, after which the attacks began). For years, my neurologist tried to choose medication that would reduce the number of seizures (I took min. Rivotril, Depakine, etc. but the number of attacks oscillated around 2-3 per week). After about 2 years, the doctor finally "hit" the right combination of drugs. Currently, on a daily basis, I take Neurotope in combination with Lamitrin and temporarily Tranxene (in case of fear that an attack will occur) and Relsed infusions (to interrupt attacks). At the moment, I have an average of 2 attacks per month, which is, in my opinion, a great success and improvement. Until one of my parents was alive, I was treated privately, but a few years ago I had to switch to the National Health Fund. I would like to ask, because a neurologist from the National Health Fund offered me today to change my medication to Ontozry and I wonder if it is worth the risk, since I function relatively normally, I do not have anxiety, I sleep peacefully, I do not suffer from aphasia (only after an attack I am not able to coordinate my thoughts with speech for about 3 hours and I have paralyzed right half of my body, but I've already learned to live with it), I have no problems making friends, etc.? Can switching medications affect the deterioration of my health?
Best regards
