Sabril/Potiga/Banzel
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hey everyone :)

I was just wondering if anyone has tried
or is on any of the meds above. ?
My past dr (and the one I have now) won't let me try them,
mainly because of the risk of vision loss.
I'm kinda curious and wondering if that has really happened ?
Or were there other effects besides the vision?

Thanks !

I've been on two out of the three that you show about . I've been on Banzel and Potiga. Banzel never gave me bad side effects , but didn't have the best control on my seizures. Potiga was a strange one for my experience. The first day I started taking it, made me have many dreams ( all types ) a night.
