It doesn't matter what the situation is, I can just suddenly bust out laughing, and no matter how hard I try, the laughing doesn't stop. It's embarrassing, but it's also frustrating and aggravating because I'm not always wanting to be laughing!
Is it the phenytoin, or the epilepsy?
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member You are the first person I ever saw admit they were taking that many pills! Sounds just like my early days with SZ taking the same number twice per day. I did same as YOU, research, research and more research. Until the NEURO's made their changes, actually the RESEARCH never stops. I was so glad to join this SITE.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member - Excellent point. Here is a link to research what Deanna mentioned. - http://www.pbainfo.org/science
Give u a hug! I was in the research dept. at UCLA for pre-dementia. Medications are a teater-totter routine my husband is a pharmacologist! I am a low dose of every thing but my memory is shot! Thanks
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, laughter is a wonderful thing, it really is, but there are times that laughing is NOT the thing to do! I hope it never does that to you!!
I really don't think it's the medication. I've taken the same meds for years, only adding the Dilantin in January. It seems like the laughter started when the dose got upped in April, and continues to get worse/stronger... Surely it'll get better!!
I research everything I can, too, meds, side effects, definitions of my seizures... It's interesting, and helps me understand!!
Analytical of my meds? Hmmm... For years I've looked them up online, concerned about what I was taking, to an extent, but when I was first diagnosed, my family dr had put me on a combination of 25 pills a day, and that's when I said ENOUGH! It was then time for me to see what was what, and get rid of most of that mess! I'm glad I did too!!
Research, is knowledge just waiting to happen!!
