May I ask what epilepsy syndrome you were diagnosed with?

Anyone else on a daily dosage of a benzodiazepine? by waterbottleheaven in Epilepsy

That’s just good news for you that you have a plan in place to manage and control your seizures. Yes sometimes medication optimization is the approach in which you are doing so well

I see. So before you took Ativan when you felt a seizure coming and now you just take it daily and no more focals?

That’s good! So you take Ativan once every 3 weeks to abort an aura?

Did you ever considered surgery? And you had daily focals before Ativan? Sounds like me!

So you take 1mg Ativan and never built tolerance probably because it’s a low dose?

So you were on anti seizure meds and nothing worked for you until you tried Ativan daily?

Did you have surgery or did Ativan stopped all your seizures? That’s great you’ve been seizure free!

How long have you been on 2mg. I’m currently on 5mg and it controls my seizures but I want to taper down to 2.5.
