Is Anyone On Here Taking Lamotrigine?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Derbyshire United Kingdom

Is anyone on here taking lamotrigine? I’m up to 150mg twice a day at the moment which seemed control my seizures for a while, but I had several nocturnal seizures in the early hours of Wednesday morning which left me with a horrendous headache which lasted all day and unable to function. Didn’t sleep last night as I just can’t switch off. Tried to get some sleep today but not happening, which is leaving very tired and frightened. I wish this illness would go away….think I’m losing my mind.
