It's understandable to feel like the side effects of medications can make you feel unlike your true self. Many people on MyEpilepsyTeam report struggling with medication side effects impacting their mood, cognition, or physical abilities. However, the right medication regimen, often found through trial and error with your doctor, can help minimize side effects while still effectively treating seizures. Being patient through the process and clearly communicating with your care team is key.

I am not really sure that medication has changed me. I started the medication at 17 when your brain goes through one of its growth spurts and I have not idea what would have happened if I was not on medication. I wasn’t given the chance to find out.
