Any1 Who Takes Excopri, Has It Affected You In Any Way?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Charlotte, NC

I've commented on my Dr. putting me on that med a while back and how things have been better. Thing I curious about is if any1 here takes and goes through tiredness.
It seems like as I do chores after taking it doesn't seem long before I'm wore out. Not that it stops me for day, long enough for a nap though.
Or could it be I'm not as young anymore.

I'm on xcopri and it makes me so tired all day and very low energy. If I'm awake more than 4hrs it drains mee, I have to take a nap during day otherwise body feels wants collapse later in day. I've also found out I'm anemic again and haven't been for years. I'm also losing weight and my neurologist says that my xcopri and clobazam aren't medication that would cause Weight loss, so suggested something else maybe going on. Now after blood work having several other tests and.xrays done. Xcopri fatigue is no fun at all. But I rather take fatigue than my increased seizures, as it has helped a little .

My son started Xcopri and stopped his. He had since birth and he is now 20! I started it and titrated to 100 mg now. I don’t know if I need to be on that much but I do feel more settled. No seizures.

Your right on that. Never drank that much or often. As I've got older in my thirties I stopped drinking.
Certain times I might have a drink, that's about once a year though.
