Thankfully someone caught me and helped me to bed. It was like all effort to move any muscles. I even needed legs picked up onto bed. What is this? Thank you

Here’s an article on low blood pressure and low sodium. I’ve had to change drugs due to low sodium and supplements not effective. Carb is linked to-low blood pressure and more seizure prone for example.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, that’s what I did too. I also , still had the meds , That I was being Weaned off. So I went back to what I was taking before going on Vimpat.

By the next day I felt much better

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member that happens to me. I’ve many times had to put an eye patch over one eye for cross eyed impact to go away and wait out dizziness

I had a similar inciden. Roughly 10 yrs ago , I was actually overdosed and I wasn’t even on my full dose of medication ( Vimpat ) .

My thoughts were cloudy , I couldn’t walk andI was dizzy . I crawled my way to my bedroom and got myself into bed. I lyed down and looked at the ceiling and my room started spinning, from vertigo .

Wife called a nurses hotline for advice.. my clinic was closed . We called my Dr. The next day.
