Xcopri (cenobamate) For Kids ???
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I did it, but was very irritated when my… read more

What Are Your Seizures Like?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have focal seizures. I'm unconscious. But, I'm screaming and banging or grabbing whatever is around me. I'm yelling words. I've grabbed on to people around me. I've had to have to get several walls fixed. Because, I banged and kicked holes in the wall.
