Dear Sir/Madam, A Little Background: I'm A 33 Year Old
Dear Sir/Madam,
A little background:
I'm a 33 year old female. I'm suffering from Neurocysticercosis, which shows itself in epilepsy, severe headaches and severe depression. At the moment I'm taking Topamax 100 mg, 2x a day; Lamotrigine 175 mg in the morning and 75 mg in the evening (both for the epilepsy); Amitiptyline, 20 mg, 1x a day (for the headaches); Clonazepam, 2 mg, 1x a day (for both anti-convulsive and anti-anxiety reasons); Co-codamol, 30mg/500mg, 5x a day; Naproxen, 500 mg, 2x a day (both for the headaches.
My question is now, would it be sensible and reasonable for me to switch the Clonazepam dose from the evening just before bed to the morning? This because I noticed that I'm much more focused while taking it, and it's much more quieter in my head while I take it.
Also how do I go about making this switch?
Thank you in advance for your help.
With kind regards,
Nicolette Scholte
