Has Anyone Ever Had Joint Pain From Taking VIMPAT?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Farmersburg, IN

I started taking Vimpat about 2 years ago. About two months later I started having joint pain. The joint pain has only gotten worse and spread. I don't know for sure if the pain is caused by the Vimpat or not, but has anyone else ever developed joint pain from taking Vimpat? I have no history of joint injuries or joint diseases in my family. I also take Oxtellar(trileptal)

Use Of Gabapentin

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pittsboro, NC

I was given Gabapentin for pain after surgery and I found that it did nothing but make me fall asleep which is why I may have been given the medication - who knows. Anyone out there has experience with Gabapentin as a pain killer??

If You Have Replaced Tegretol, Which Other Drug Took Its Place?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Diego, CA

Following my neurofeedback sessions I was able to reduce my seizures significantly. And the seizures I continue to have almost always occur when I am asleep. It would seem as though I can control my brain activity much better when awake.

Hair Loss

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Philadelphia, PA

Does anyone taking seizure meds find their hair thinning or hair loss to become more problematic the longer you stay on it? I've been on zonegran for over a yr now and I've been steadily losing my hair in chunks. Once my meds were upped after some scary seizures a few months ago, it seems like it's excessive loss. Chunks of hair at a time. My doc says I'm imagining it and it's "part of epilepsy" but I don't know.

Anyone Else Have Seizures Immediately Upon Waking Up?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eden, GA

Sometimes, a lot of the time I will have a seizure as soon as I get up from sleeping. Doesn't matter what time. Most of the time they are just focal seizures and vary in intensity. Sometimes though they are a lot worse, Grand Mal.

I know that with one of the 4 epilepsy you have in the brain it shows memory loss, but do you think Medication for Epilepsy would have effect on your Memory other then with the one of the epilepsy which you have?
