I am currently taking vimpat up to 100MG

Hi ,I've been on Frisium/ Keppra/ lamictal or a few years now At first Frisium was a kind of 'rescue med' I dont have particular died effects apart from the usual poor short term memory ,poor concentration span ,slow thinking - quite a lot I suppose 😂my cluster partial seizures have been uncontrolled for 20 years now You name the medication & I've been on it !

Many thanks for your response Salma, great to hear the lamotrogine is working for you!

Hey michael like you stress, anxiety and lack if sleep are tiggers for my epilepsy. My doctor suggested i go on keppra at first. The side effects for keppra were alot of mental issues such as depression and anxiety and mood swings. Generally i am a very happy outgoing person but on keppra this changed upsidedown i became a sensitive sad depressed person, thinking this would pass i stayed on the medication for acouple of months. After speaking to my doctor about these side effects he put me on Lamotrigine which has overall been great - lamotrigine is also prescribed for people with bipolor disorder (which i dont have) but it has been a great alternitive comparred to Keppra.

Thanks for the reply Laura, hope all's well!
