Can Weight Have Something To Do With Seizures?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Clintonville, WI

After digging through many theories and routes never even considered by "modern" medicine, I've started to wonder if weight/fat has something to do with epilepsy
I've read that visceral fat has something to do with health in other areas such as increasing the chances of getting diabetes or alzheimers or several other things. Well, if that's the case, I've been wondering if the 40 or 50 pounds I've put on since H.S. 30+ years ago is affecting the fact that, not only do I have more… read more

Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.

Does Anyone Get Hot Then Freezing And Back To Hot After A Seizure?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Caldwell, ID

I always get freezing after a seizure and when i start feeling normal again i start going from hot to cold to hot and back and forth. I can not get comfortable! It's 85 degrees and i have a sweatshirt on and I'm still freezing! But i checked my temperature and it's normal. Is this a type of seizure?

Is It Really The Best Idea To Take 3 Medications At Once? Kepra (Levetiracetam), Lamictal (Lamotrigine) And Now Vimpat(Lacosimide)

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Greenwood, IN

My son does not like all the side effects and is not wanting to add a 3rd. Incredible to think this is best option. Is it possible the 2nd med (Lamictal) that was added has caused the increase in his seizures? Shouldn't we try to back off of that first?
