Being on more than 1 anticonvulsant medications , will not help with depression. Infact there are some AED meds that have a side effect of making some depressed.

I also have problems with depression and it's been difficult at times because I always felt no one wanted to hear what I needed to say. but on a positive note since I've been on this site it helps to know I'm not alone. Stay positive

yes... depression is one of the common side effect of seizure meds. i have 2 small meds (lowest you can go) and i have anxity and depression. cbd helps (both calms me down and stop having seizures).
