[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 135708, member: 3444"] Thank you for the questions, smallworld -- no need to apologize at all! He takes 50mg Lamictal twice a day (am/pm), so it's fairly low. He tried taking the pm dose earlier in the evening instead of at bedtime. Didn't seem to make much difference. Sometimes he has a hard time falling asleep (like now -- and that's possibly because he's taking so many naps because of the post-op fatigue) and sometimes he just wakes 4 or 5 times a night and has trouble going back to sleep (this was the pattern before surgery). I don't know yet what medication the neuro has in mind for the next go-round. We'll learn that tomorrow at his appointment. His seizure problems were coming from the right temporal lobe -- supposedly Lamictal is good for simple-partials like he was having. Do you know what other drugs in that class are recommended for that? I'll try to talk to husband about the psychiatric consult before tomorrow's appointment, since he's more receptive now than he's ever been. That way the seed can be planted before he starts having problems again. Then I can say, "Remember that conversation we had...?" [/QUOTE]
