I have been having seizures for 5 years. I’ve been on keppra since then with no side effects. I started Lamotrigine a couple weeks ago, it caused me to have horrible anxiety attacks. What has worked for you all that also helped with anxiety?
Ativan
I started on Keppra 6 years ago and I hated it. I was a zombie with no interest in doing anything. I put on weight and other side effects. Back to consultant for 6 month check and he more or less told me I was wrong!! He reluctantly put me on Lamotrigine. It controlled the seizures now they’re increasing!
I’ve been on Keppra and Lamictal combo for about 4 years. I get bad panic attacks but I don’t know if it’s tied to the medications. I told my neuro before and she said it shouldn’t be related to the meds since they are also used as mood stabilizers. So I don’t have any answers either. :-(
Yes to Ativan. I always have mine with me. Does make me really tired though.
