They said that if it's working they might not change it because I have difficulty taking pretty much all other APs because of weight gain. I would probably take lactation over weight gain so yeah.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know anything about MRIs? I've been having (possibly delusional) thoughts that I have brain damage and it's really distressing so I feel like having one would put my mind at ease. If I need a legitimate reason to get one, I can always point to the fact that I was supposed to get tested for epilepsy and never did... I just hate this obsessive thought...

Did you have any kind of brain scan at all like a CT when you were diagnosed if not then you should to rule out stuff like tumor etc. the epilepsy usually that's an EEG which you should also get if there is any chance of that usually unusual hallucinations like olfactory often unresponsive to APs.
Honestly I would rather have a CT than an MRI because those take forever I think like an hour and they are really loud the CT is pretty fast but it's like an x-Ray instead of magnets and less detailed...
