My Mother is having seizures, she is 86. they say they find no reason except her age for this happening. They started her on 500 mg bid , and she continued totijelyy have seizures, so they increased the dose to 2 tabs, 1000 mgs bid. She c/o of feeling strange and whoozie after taking the large dose, and asked me if she could take 500 mg qid , rather than 1000 mg bid. I have never worked with seizure patients and I do not know much about this kind of medication. Her doctor is 80 miles away, and she has to go thru a PA in her rural town and so getting any immediate or timely response is difficult. I was just writing to ask what your opinion on this would be. Would qid be as effective and maybe prevent the funny , whoozie feeling from the initial larger dose.
