So my medication is getting changed because of my liver, I was wondering if anyone had been on any of these? Lacosamide Zonisanude Perampanel Topiranate I want to know what kind of mood changes everyone has had and side effects? One of these is going to be the next one I’m on and I don’t want to choose another one that makes aggressive or anything, thank you in advance!

Zonegran did me bad. I only took it 6 days. Called my doctor and said it would be ok for me stop it since i had not been on it for very long. I think it really made me feel so doped. I couldn't handle that. He changed me to trileptal along with my keppra and lamictal. They all make me so sleepy after i take them. But i guess all seizure medicines do.

Topiramate made me really ill. I lost feeling in my left side and foot. Took over a year to fully recover. All because they upped the dose too much. I was also severely depressed. Once off topiramate the depression lifted.

I've taken Lamictal but that made my heart beat really fast and I had to go to the hospital, Phenobarbital, Vimpat, Topamax,Depakote, Tegretol. I'm now taking Carbamazepine which is also known as Tegretol, I also take Keppra, Onfi, and Xcopri. The Xcopri will make me go to sleep, and make my hands shake, and kinda make me lose my balance. The other medications my body pretty much has gotten used to it.
