Does Anyone Know If The Side Effects Of Cenobamate/Ontozry Will Wear Off After A Few Weeks, Please?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've gradually been increasing my dosage of Cenobamate over the last few weeks, and have reached a dose of 150mg a day, but at the moment I can barely stand or walk for around two hours after taking it and seeing double. I'm physically drunk, but without alcohol. Having said this, I have not had any seizures since increasing my dose. I am also taking 500mg of Lamotrigine, 3g of Keppra, and 800mg of Tegretol a day.

That’s hell of a dose of Lamotrigine. It’s also a killer of sexual desire - although there is very little on these pages of the side effects of drugs. I get by on just 25mg morning and evening on the branded Lamictal. Lamotrigine in its generic format can be a danger if it is not produced regularly by the same manufacturer. There can be as much as a difference of 45% bioavailability in generic Lamotrigine and unless you have it from the same manufacturer you run the risk of continuous seizures.
