> Actually, I was started off on 4mg bid and instructed to take it this way for two weeks; then my dose would double. It was my very first 8mg dose that caused the seizures. Doctors seemed sort of baffled-- both in that I made it through alive, and 'what in the hell is behind all this?' Naturally they just assumed I'd OD'd (I'd done so in the past with clonazepam and phenobarbital), so I'm sure that's on my charts now. Nice, huh?

Neurologists are aware that specific AED's can cause *increased* seizure frequency rather than the intended opposite in individual patients. Polypharmacy can complicate these types of issues, too.
