has anybody been prescribed this as an add on to their other medication?

i've had .5 added

i've recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour which has been causing me sezuires.
i'm taking medication but i still feel as if im unable to go to the shops, walks or anything in general.

i finally built the courage to go for a drive to my mothers and ended up having to jump out of my car and had a TC on the side of a busy road.

i'm on track to getting it sorted, 2 days post op for a biopsy but i just want to be able to spend my life outside of my bed without constant worry and anxiety. does it get better?

my dr told me to up my dosage to 100mg per day.

i didn't ask how to take my dosage.

is it 50 morning and then 50 at night usually? or all at the same time.

* for seizures *

hi all,

i was recently diagnosed with a low grade glioma. i only found out as i had a pretty intense seizure (out of nowhere). they put me on the starter dose 25mg, once daily. a week and a half later i had another seizure, it was much worse and it made me feel as if i couldn't breathe.

both times i have ended up in the emergency department and sent home. the second time, i was told to up my dose to 50mg.

i've felt horrible ever since, bed bound, depressed. it's a lot for me to process. i'm quite young and just had my first child, it has been a whirlwind of emotions.

i have alot of anxiety at the thought of having another seizure. at this point i haven't even given thought to my tumor. my sezuires are so traumatic it's all i can think about. i haven't been able to sleep or eat and every sensation my body feels i am completely convinced i'm going to have another.

my question is, has anyone actually seen a reduction in their seizures from a smaller dose? i obviously can't up my dosage quickly.

i've booked a dr and neurology appointment to talk to them about it but the wait is causing me extreme anxiety.
