I read sweats are possible side effect of Lacosamide so I am really unsure I am 50. I currently wrap in my cooling blanket, have 2 fans and air turned down yet still hot and sweat. It is unbearable. Add insomnia and I just don’t think I can take much more. I seen my PCP whom added a sleep aid which makes me nervous to keep adding more medication. Hoping it all passes soon.

It's dif per person, but I can relate kinda, I have recently noticed that about 2 weeks ago I started having a small prob with getting to sleep, I didn't think much of it, but it has been more frequent now and almost daily, I looked up online and it is not dangerous but more of a inconvenience they put it, I think so also, but I may end up switching my sleep schedule to the day and then switch back when it gets better and goes away, but hang in there and try and stay pos, my opinion

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member do you think the premenopause is because of your genetics or the meds? I turn 43 this week and have been telling my doctors and family for the past couple years about the instant sweat sessions, I get bright red since I'm so hot, have to roll up my pant legs and take my socks off to cool down, keep ice packs in the freezer to use when I get these hotspells and they just laugh at me and say I'm way too young

I have taken Lacosamide for 9 years and got diagnosed with premenopause at the age of 43. I am now 47, but sweat mostly under my arms or underneath my bosoms. I don't have insomnia with any prescription medications that I am taking.

I had unbearable stomach ache. But was ok after 2 weeks.
