Salam, Dr. Omar your work is impeccable. I have learned so much. You are echoing what I say as well regarding neuropsychology and how lamictal and depakote have mood stabilization. The emphasis of keppra when not mental health issues. I have found in patients utilizing ETOH to more avoid depakote in favor of lamictal? Perhaps if prominent irritability then utilize depakote? I have found lamictal very helpful especially for younger patients. The Stevens Johnson's seems a risk but I have not seen that yet from Lamictal in my patients. Eager to learn from you sir.
Enjoyed your vid on Kepra Please do a similar vid on Lamotrigine. A Neurosurgeon put me on Kepra and sent me to a Neurologist who does nothing but Epilepsy and other seizure disorders. He put me on Lamotrigine in addition to the Kepra. But I have Clinical Depression and Anxiety Disorder and I would fly into fits of anger. Very unlike me. He immediately took me off Kepra. He said he isn’t crazy about it to begin with. Now I’m on Lamotrigine 200mg twice daily and things are well under control. My Epilepsy is Temporal Lobe.
Bro I’m in EXACTLY the same boat as you! Lamotrigine and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Took a long time to figure out that’s what was causing all these mental health issues I had for around 3 years
My epilepsy medication is perampenal, clobazam, zonisamide and lacosomide - taken a little while to work out what works but these have made me go from 4/5 a day to one every 4-6 weeks!
I was put on lepta, by a doctor here in the uk, he just looked in a book and said that will do, he didn’t even refer me to a neurologist first, even when I asked to see one, he said there was no need, kepra made me suicidal for 7 years, I then moved to a different area in the uk, and the neurologist I saw couldn’t believe I was was never taken off it, and that I was even still living, I now take epilin volporate, which works, to some extent, but suffer, extreme drepression, stress and also anxiety too, am now waiting to see another neurologist again, thank for your videos, I would appreciate your feed back, on what may help more 👍
Dr am having some signs of seizure two times now night unconscious and body sacking plus tongue biting which type of epilepsy is that and what type of treatment is good for it

I'm from Brazil, my crisis starts with aura, aphasia, chewing and sometimes becomes tonic clonic, I can't hear repeated sounds because it triggers the crisis. I take leveriracetam 750, but it doesn't help.
Hello Dr. Danoun, In regards to bone desity, is Lamotrigine better than Carbamazepine? Does Lamotriigne contribute to bone density issue in women over 50. Thank you. Much appreciated.
I have corresponded with you about my son. Now I am in need of your thoughts about me. I have never had a seizure until two days ago. I was actually in my daughters hospital room when it happened. It was tonic clonic, and I required cpr. A brain mri and 20 min eeg was done. INTERPRETATION: This is an abnormal EEG due to the presence of rare right temporal-parietal sharp waves. CLINICAL CORRELATION: Focal epileptiform abnormalities are indicative of an area of focal cortical irritability that may increase risk for focal onset seizures. I have PTSD, Depression, Anxiety yet the er still wanted me to take Keppra. I can not take Lamotrigine due to SJS. What would be your next choice medication.
So sorry to hear that... Correct, Keppra is detrimental in depression and anxiety and should be avoided. There are 31 medications for epilepsy. The best one to choose is the neurologist who will evaluate your case and give you a medicine that best fits your needs. I can't provide medical advice online unfortunately. Please review the videos on antiseizure medications and best antiseizure medication for epilepsy they have good information about how to choose

Hello Doctor Omar. I have nocturnal seizures. I wake up between 3-4 AM at night go to the toilet, come back to bed and start shaking. I was prescribed Lamictal 100-100-200 and Temesta (Lorazepam) to take it before seizure. The fact is that I am not always sure when I will be having a seizure because sometimes I just fall back to sleep and everything goes normal. I pop a pill of Temesta after my first uncontrolled arm movement but that sometimes is too late. I was wondering since I only have these seizures at night wouldn't be okay to take a combination of Lamictal and Sleeping pills to help me sleep over the night? I know that my triggers are stress, alcohol, and lack of sleep but let's face it, even if skipped alcohol stress and sleepless nights are almost impossible to take out of a man's life who is working or occasionally stays up late to watch a movie. Would you also recommend a surgery for my condiction? (I have so many questions and unfortunately for me your are a busy man, I am from Europe and you are in USA) I would be very happy if you would find 1 minute to answer me. Have a nice day.
There are some sleep pills that are safe in epilepsy.. Please discuss with your neurologist. Yes surgery can be done in resistant epilepsy and full details are in the video on drug resistant epilepsy for full information and discuss with your neurologist

دكتووور ياااررب يسعدك ، انت قلت انه الي عنده صرع معمم لايصح اعطائه أدوية تشتغل على قنوات الصوديوم ؟ فهل ال (زينوساميد ) يشتغل على قنوات الصوديوم فقط ولا على أكثر ؟ فديييتك ليتك تقول لي ميكانيزم هذا الدواء ، على ماذا يشتغل بجانب الصوديوم ؟ لأنك قلت انه واسع الطيف فأكيد إنه يشتغل على اكثر من شي .، واليوم شفنا انه الكيبرا يشتغل على أكثر من شي ، لان مشهور انتم دايما تكتبو انه يشتغل على مستقبلات sv2 ومن هذا الفيديو يبدو ان له ميكانيزم متعدد

Hey Dr.omar can uh help me plz I am too much affected by parosmia...and now I am too much stressed bcx of it ...almost 8 month have done but I m suffering a bad smell from everything..can uh tell me how long it will occur...?
Levaterasitam or Keppra made me very angry as well as having thoughts of suicide as well as messing with my vision. Always read your medicine side effects before taking so you know what to look out for.

Please review the video on epilepsy for beginners it has all the information.. Please review the videos in the channel for full information and discuss with your neurologist
My idiot drs in NZ refuse to even recognise my seizures or more they dont want to because they started after my 2nd Vacine... The neurologist didnt even turn up for my first 2 appointments...when he finally turned up for the 3rd booking he said i had functional seizures due to PTSD....???? That was it..no tests no nothing... Im 57 and for 4 years been having these seizures.... All ive been offered is Lorazepam...a medication that is going to dumb my whole body down....or codein????? The NZ medical system has ridiculed me for the entire 4 years and still to this day i have no help... Ive lost everything due to my sezisures..my home, job, car, friends, family and i sit alone day after day dealing with my seizures alone.....
Why do the medications have horrid side effects? Like benzodiazepines are addictive, why is that needed? A lot of times for me I’ve failed meds because of the side effects. They could’ve been effective, but the effects outweighed the benefits.
