Jessica we are trying to change some of those bills here in our state and the first one is change the driving bill from 6 months to 3 months if seizure free. Also we are working on changing them from starting you on a medicine and than changing it to a generic which a lot of times doesn't do the job that the original medicine does. Still working on that one since medicaid doesn't want to cover the original medicine. I had the new medicine changed to taking it just at night before bedtime and thats been working much better. If you have not been having seizures why did the doctor say you can't drive? I know it is frustrating but hang in there!

I was just put on a new one called Potiga and about a half hour after taking it I was so tired I slept half the day. I am very active so this bothered me and the doctor wanted me to take it three times a day and I told her I couldn't do that so she said to just take it at night and see if the feeling tired would go away. All meds have side effects but if the feeling so tired doesn't go away I won't stay on it. Plus it hasn't been approved by my medicaid so I wouldn't be able to afford it. so will have to see. Happy Easter all

@Jessica - did you file an appeal with your insurance? A letter from the prescribing doctor explaining medical necessity, anticipated results, ect.
