Supplements added to my daily routine

Posting this in case it helps other people or if anyone has any input on it based on their experience or research.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy a few years ago (in my late 40s). Even with medication (now on 3,000 mg/day of Levetiracetam) I have had seizure activity, including focal aware and tonic colonic seizures. For now my neurologist has suggested we stay the course with the Levetiracetam.

I recently added some supplements that appear to benefit brain health and help calm brain activity and reduce the risk of seizures. I have been taking these supplements daily for one month and I have not had any seizure activity. Obviously one month is too short a time period to conclusively determine anything regarding these supplements. But in addition to the lack of seizure activity for that month I will say that in the past two weeks that my brain just feels “better”. I know that sounds stupid but I really feel like my brain feels calmer (though I don’t feel drugged or a lack of alertness) and further below any seizure threshold. Prior to adding these supplements I felt like my brain activity was always near the threshold of a seizure. It’s hard for me to describe so I hope that makes sense.

Here are the supplements I have added. I would love to hear from anyone else who has tried these (or other) supplements: Morning:

1. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (500 mg)
2. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (600 mg)
3. L-Theanine (100 mg)
4. Vitamin B-Complex

Midday:

1. Vitamin D3 + K2
2. DHA (Omega-3) (1,000 mg)

Evenings:

1. Magnesium L-Threonate (2,000 mg/144 mg elemental magnesium)
2. DHA (Omega-3) (1,000 mg)
3. L-Theanine (100 mg)

Thanks. And good luck to everyone else suffering with this terrible disease. I’m hoping these supplements can help improve my daily life from the constant worry of another seizure and help me overcome the feeling that I have been robbed of my quality of life.
