Is Crying And/or Sweating In My Sleep Related To Epilepsy?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been sweating and crying in my sleep lately. This is new for me and I wonder if it's related to epilepsy? Does anyone else have experience with this?

It could be due to your medicine & so you might let your doctor know, About 8 years or so ago I got dizzy, blurry vision & all of a sudden began crying for no reason at all & I didn’t know what was going on cause I had never cried for no reason at all. So I called my doctor & he thought it might be my Trileptal & so he reduced the dosage. I’ve never had an odd crying episode like that since. I don’t know what to tell you about the sweating but that could also be another side effect to your medicine. You might Google the list of side effects & if they’re bothering you to much let your doctor know. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky
