A member asked:

Hi i have epilepsy and have 30 seizures a day i'm on epillim 2000mg a day is it possible to go on a higher dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: 30 seizures a day is a high number for any seizure type other than absence or myoclonic seizures. Make sure you are seeing a neurologist, preferably an epileptologist. But yes, we use higher doses at times (3000-4000 mg/d in some cases). Don't increase without discussing with your neurologist, though.
