Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.

I had a stroke a month ago. My hubby watched me and decided this was not seizure activity and called the EMTS. I got the drug that you have to have within 3hours so i was very lucky. I have some weakness on my left side but it is stronger already after all the rehab. I've been reading that people with epilepsy are more likely to have a stroke. Did anyone else know this? Have you experienced strokes too? What alarms me is unless someone knows you really well, they won't know you were having a… read more

My questions are am I prlong to have more strokes I did have TIA in 2018 and this one just on May 9th into the 10th 2023 ? Even thought I didn’t have a siezure that day I did read upon it about strokes I was wondering if anyone had this issue before I am really concered and final qestion can someone please send me any information. Your friend in New York by enail or by mail

I did a little research and the heat can effect some peoples epilepsy

According to my family I blacked out, tightened up, then passed out out. They say it was a stroke. But I'm not at the hospital. Im totally confused

Since I've moved to Australia I've been taking generic keppra and lamictal. I took the same medicine in the USA, but I'm feeling some intense side effects from the generic medicine here. My friend that's a pharmacist said it could be from fillers that are used in the medicine. I'd pay for the name brand but it's very expensive. And then the stress from the financial strain can cause a seizure. Anyway, could there be something in the medicine that I'm not aware of?

I have found lately that after a seizure I am so much more sensitive to criticism and to well basically anything emotionally draining.
Am I the only one?
I'm hoping this is normal!

I had a conversation with a few people here. We all have had difficulties speaking. Getting confused, slurring words, dyslexia getting worse, not being able to put sentences together properly, etc.
If that’s a seizure, what type of seizure is it?
Or is it more likely just side-effects of medications?
Thanks.
