I would not pay attention to a School GP, who I think told you to go "Cold Turkey". I know some people stop having seizures naturally. Find a Neurologist or Epileptologist who is very observant, can… read more

Is It Really The Best Idea To Take 3 Medications At Once? Kepra (Levetiracetam), Lamictal (Lamotrigine) And Now Vimpat(Lacosimide)
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?
There are many of us , where one medication won’t work to control our seizures of the type of Epilepsy we have.
I’m on 5 medications, with the DBS ( Deep Brain Stimulation ) and still have seizures… read more
Did You Get The Right Meds At When You Were Diagnosed With Your Condition, And Were They The Right One (s) ?
I think that when I was diagnosed with my condition I was given the right meds, but later after meeting with a new doc out here changed them, I brought up before and told of it, but I personally didn't think I had prob with the meds I was on, she just took me off and put me on the meds I am taking and don't have a prob with either, thankful it worked out that way, my hypothetical question to that would be what if the meds she changed up didn't do what they were supposed to, then I be at square… read more
Diagnose With Epilepsy Out Of No Where.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 22. No injuries
Or anything. I wonder if anyone was also diagnosed out of no where and what medicine you’re on?
I was diagnosed at three years old. I never knew the cause for 40 years. I felt it had to be my birth weight, 12 lb. 9 oz., being pushed down the stairs when I was two or a 105 fever when I was… read more

Medicine Question
I have recently been weaned off Zonisamide due to side effects. The Zonisamide is not going to be replaced by another AED. I am on phenobarbital and LamotragineER. I am just a little bit nervous about not having another medication added back to the mix. How many meds are you on and do you have problems when one of the medications is stopped? My seizures are well controlled, one every 2-3 years, but the last 2 were only 6 months apart. I realize I have nothing to complain about, but I am… read more

I had horrible side effects couldn’t wake up didn’t eat couldn’t remember why I went out of one room by the time I got to the next. It was bad they took me off of it in a matter of a couple months… read more
