Amlodopine reaction

I take Keppra (2500 daily) and Lamotrogene (150mg daily) and also take amlostin 5mg daily, ramipril 1.25mg daily for blood pressure control plus artorvastatin 20mg daily cholesterol control. There appears to be a shortage of amlostin (5mg daily) and

Anyone else feeling so utterly beyond help they really don't know what else to do?
Partner had TBI 3 years ago. Endless health problems. Now deteriorating. Partner had sleep deprived EEG earlier this year. Result was abnormal with an irregular sharp/slow morphology. Coupled with deterioration he should go back on Keppra. We will lose everything. His job, driving license and my sanity

So so close.
So one UTI and a set of antibiotics later, I am now healthy (brain damage, AVM and epilepsy withstanding), which is great. For my epilepsy I've recently been taking 2x150mg Lamotragine per day and 2x1000mg Keppra per day. We added Keppra because I was still having seizures, which I shouldn't have now

How do I cope with rehab?
Sorry to have a moan on a Sunday and sorry I have not been around for a while. We got married, went on honeymoon and then now I have gone straight into rehab (a big shock to the system). I sustained my tbi just over a year on an unfortunate day when I met a shiny Mercedes on my bicycle! We have then

THIS JUST IN
So I went to the doctors today. He took my blood pressure sitting down, then standing up, and told me that I had lower blood pressure when standing, which isn't good (blood's not resisting gravity). Now apparently this is due to the Keppra I'm now on (2x1500mg per day), namely the high dose. This would

Couple of questions about epilepsy.
I acquired epilepsy after my stroke last year, my first seizure was in August of the same year, and now I've had seven over all. I'm now on a dose of 2x175mg Lamotragine, and 2x1000mg Keppra per day since my last seizure on the 28th May. Keppra was only added after my last one, it went up by 250mg

Getting on top of epilepsy.
I've had seven seizures now, they've happened over a period of 10 months, and they're starting to take their toll. It's this medication that's killing me, 2x200mg Lamotragine and 2x750mg Keppra per day (one dose in the morning, and one dose at night. I'm so tired all the time, even typing this is difficult

Does anyone have trouble with getting medical professionals to take you seriously when you report side effects of AEDs?
My son is suffering side effects from Keppra (aggression, anger, unable to sleep, emotional all the time, depressed). They've prescribed Melatonin to help him sleep and this does take a slight edge off the other side effects but not completely. I've asked for him to be taken off Keppra but have to

Epilepsy medication
I was diagnosed with a Ganglioglioma tumour and Focal Epilepsy almost 3 years ago now. First medication was Keppra which made me tired all the time. Next I was given Lamotrigine which caused bad head pains. I am now on Pregabelin and often feel off balance and my memory has become dreadful. Over
