Im always tired, Im on lamotrigine, topiramate and keppra ill just randomly fall asleep it doesnt matter where i am? And even people at work have noticed that i am always tired.. but they dont know about my epilepsy I’ll just fall asleep everytime im asleep.. i get at least 6 hours sleep a night
So sorry. Maybe we can trade, Lamictal gives me insomnia. Side effects are so hard but the alternative is worse. Hope you can figure it out.
My neurologist rarely prescribed Keppra at least not in my type of seizures. I have complex partials ( 5 second loss of awareness eg staring into the distance) and have had right temporal lobe surgery. I have a lot less seizures but I have had psychiatric illnesses ever since the surgery. I take so many meds for psychiatry that lamotrigine for epilepsy is not what’s controlling them. They are low cos of the number of psych meds most of which are sleepy
I would get tired long before any meds. When I first mentioned it the nurse i mentioned it to told me I was just a mom. Hmm. Last time I checked that didn’t include falling asleep as soon as you sat down in public places. 😡 I was later told it was seizure activity. So now trying to figure out what is seizure activity and what is meication.
Family talk to me like I’m stupid.. they tell me to shut up when i do speak..the anger would just happen over something little like my sister took something of mine and i started getting angry/swearing at her.. and my family would be like really is there any point of acting like that then ill feel bad thrn start getting emotional
