Interested To Know If What Medication People Are On ?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have recently been seizure free for 6 months. Have been back to my neurologist and he has put me on an additional medication to see if I can be seizure free for longer. But.... I am now having seizures every weekend but feel as if I’m breathing really heavy before having it and as if I’m still conscious while having the seizure.
Anyone else on Vimpac and have these issues ?

All drugs have a side effect but they can have a different effect on different people I was told by a top doctor that tegratol can only be taken for 7 years then it starts too poison your blood system I was on them for over 20 years I took really bad an the hospital told me it was them tablets had been poisoned my system

My symptoms are very similar...sometimes I'm not sure if I'm having a seizure or I'm about to have one. I tried Vimpat but it made me feel like I was overdosing. Hated it, changed to lamotragine. Better but not great...
