Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If your mother is taking Lacosamide and Altonil regularly for seizures, adding Mirnite 7.5 mg might be okay, especially if it's for sleep or anxiety. However, every brain responds differently, and even low doses can have unexpected effects in sensitive individuals. So instead of assuming it's safe just because it's commonly used, it's better to get her full medication list reviewed by her neurologist or psychiatrist before starting anything new.
Next Steps
Prioritize regular seizure control first. Sleep medicines can be added safely, but only when they are tailored to her case. Don't take chances without proper supervision.

Mirnite is nothing but Mirtazapine and in such low dose of 7.5mg, it's used for sleep issues and doesn't have any risk of precipitating seizures. It is safe for use in patients with seizure disorder.
Next Steps
Compliance to Anti-seizure medications is important in patients with seizure disorder. Kindly ensure strict compliance.
