I've been through it and it can be unnerving to say the least. for both sufferers and relatives. The biggest problem i had was medication that didn't solve the problem, and often by default made it worse. I am also an epileptic, and was on Dilantin. I was on a large dose, and had a liver biopsy, and was told I was suffering Dilantin Toxicity. My medication was changed To Lamotrigine, which acts as an anticonvulsant. I have felt great ever since, and when I Looked at the properties of Lamotrigine online, found it was a mood stabilizer, and had applications in other forms of psychotic disorders. Of course it stands to reason that things like that are connected.Of course they learn more all of ...

Lamotrigine
(marketed as Lamictal (IPA: /ləˈmɪktəl/) by GlaxoSmithKline, called Lamictin in South Africa, למוג'ין (Lamogine)[1] in Israel, and 라믹탈 in South Korea) is an anticonvulsant drug used in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. For epilepsy it is used to treat partial seizures, primary and secondary tonic-clonic seizures, and seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Lamotrigine also acts as a mood stabilizer. It is the first medication since lithium granted Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the maintenance treatment of bipolar type I. Chemically unrelated to other anticonvulsants, lamotrigine has relatively few side-effects and does not require blood monitoring. The exact way lamotrigine works is unknown. Some think that it is a Na+ channel blocker. It is inactivated by hepatic glucuronidation.

The causal and correlative factors between body states, cognitive styles, down to neurohemical/hormonal interaction are only crudely understood as any neuropsychologist will agree. The research proceeds largely by serendipitous discoveries, as so in all science. I believe the focus on serotnin (linked with anxiety/depression) was an offshoot from a study of digestive ailments. Which reminds me! There are more neurons (brain cells) in the digestive system than the spine! The enteric nervous system is that which links the brain and gut, and stuff on gut-brain axis is interesting to google. A reminder that, perhaps, the place of our 'feelings' is not 'in' the body OR the mind, but across both i...

The enteric nervous system is that which links the brain and gut, and stuff on gut-brain axis is interesting to google. A reminder that, perhaps, the place of our 'feelings' is not 'in' the body OR the mind, but across both in complex dynamic interaction, that mind and body are two interpretations of the same 'thing'.
