See below: Don't wait, either call your doctor to renew the medication or go the the emergency room of your local hospital. Either way, it is much better to continue taking medication on a regular basis and not having seizures than possibly being admiited to the hospital because you had a seizure on the street. Or sidewalk and injured yourself. If you go to the ed bring your medication bottle.

Here are some...: The effectiveness of anti-seizure drugs is greatly related with their blood level. If just off for 1-2 days without recurrence, you may resume such use as used to be; if off longer than 3 days, you may resume such drugs like how you began them with a close watch. Of course, it is paramount importance to take such drug refills as personal responsibility with no excuse except unexpected incidents.
