I was taking keppra and limictal and I continued having seizures. Then fycompa was added at 6 mg. It is my miracle drug. I’ve been seizure free for three years.

I’m on Fycompa. I’m on a high dose. I’m taking 14 mg’s of it . My Epileptologist said that, for most people 12mg is the max.

Before raised my dosage up anymore, she told my wife and I to pay attention to my behavior or emotions ( one of the side effects ) . If I we notice any changes in those, we have to let my Epileptologist know.

I took it for about 3weeks. I started having weird thoughts that weren't nice. One day I was at the grocery store and a lady cut me off almost hitting me with her cart since she was yapping in her phone. Well I thought about having a knife a jabbing her in the gut. I told my hubby and said I need to get off this med now. So I called my doctor and she said she would send me a schedule to stop it and go back on what I was on. The doctor in the hospital veeg unit at that time put me on it. I wasn't impressed that there set up was like that. This doctor had never seen me, just looked at my records and never said that much to me in patient for the veeg. It was soon after that I switched Neurologists.
