For Seizures "I have spatial seizures. I take 1200 mg per day. It has been 100% effective for the last two years. I had about six months of problems after I began taking Lipitor, but none since I was taken off the Lipitor. I'm a 67-year-old male who has had seizures for over 30 years. It has been as effective as Tegretol was until it stopped working after 14 years. I had a short bout with low sodium after open-heart surgery."

"I was glad to read that someone else found slurring of words, using wrong words, etc. Occasionally, this medicine worked great for years until it got my sodium level dangerously low. Haven't found as effective a substitute some 10 months later."

For Seizures "I have temporal lobe seizures. I have taken Trileptal for many years, and it has helped control the seizures. However, I have been having issues with low sodium. The doctors blame it on the Trileptal. So to fix the problem, they suggest eating high sodium foods, fluid restriction, and no water. Water dilutes the sodium. They also suggested that I add about a teaspoon of salt to my meals. So what I do for thirst is drink Gatorade, but only a few sips. But you got to be careful and not drink more than a liter of fluid in a day, as this is what is recommended by the doctor. My neurologist recommended that I drink Gatorade. So most of the time, I drink Gatorade when I eat my meals."
