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 hope you have a blessed Christmas holiday also @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
Lady’s do you seem to have more episodes/ seizures around your period? My epilepsy only tends to play up the week before and the week after my period!? Does anyone else have similar symptoms?
My seizures get really bad when I'm on my period I hate it so much.
Does anyone else’s seizures get really bad when their “time of the month” is about to come and is still going on??
Terribly and the mood swings I honestly thought I had pmdd apparently because epilepsy we are more in tune with changes.

some time i do depend how i am feeling.
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?
All of my meds are in generic my insurance will not paid for brand name
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 feel you

How does anyone who is a full time parent get by with epilepsy and the fear of having one by yourself with just your child. I have grand mal and partial seizures. I'm to scared to have another child because I'm scared I shouldn't be a mother because of my epilepsy. I've recently also had brain surgery. So I have had a lot of help since my son was born. It's hard to feel like a mother
Is anyone else in this position or know how it feels? My parents help us but they are now in their 70's. They… read more
