Anyone Feel Like Their Senses Are Super Active?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I started an additional med after having more seizures and my eyes and ears seem extra active! I can hear things before others I'm with, I have trouble with sensory overload and can't go to social activities with coworkers when they want to do gatherings in Mpls without wearing ear plugs since all the commotion is too loud, and I have to keep turning the brightness of my computer screen down and the lights in my room off otherwise it just hurts my eyes.

I have taken both meds. Now on Briviac and Xcopri. I speed up what I am doing and my husband says don’t get so grumpy and speedy! It happens in afternoon! I have taken all meds. My best was Zonegran!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member If it's not that then its most likely a side effect issue. If you have TLE you can get auras where you get a "altered sense of hearing, sight, smell or touch so it may be related to that.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member no - never before I was diagnosed with epilepsy. It started a little when I was on Keppra and then I just started Lacasomide too and it feels like it kicked up another notch.
