No need to apologize. Tell your neurologist's about the depression side effect of that medication

I am 100% positive that hormones are playing a huge factor in both the frequency and intensity of my seizures but I’m not sure where to start to address it. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!
I started with seizures just as I was coming out of menopause at 54. I’m going to be 64 in June. All of my family and friends as well as myself think my epilepsy was brought on by a hormonal change. I… read more

Diagnosed 1992 I think winter. Oh wait nope summer.
In my region, yes that is considered focal status epilepticus. But i understand some countries have different rules for what counts as status, which is super frustrating!
when i was a child (10-16) years old i was prescribed but when i left school the doctors changed my medication. why was this when mysoline was controlling my epilepsy. whilst on mysoline i was having 1 maybe 2 fits aweek but since they change my medication my fits have increased and i am unable to work
I just had one done. The results should be available by the 26th, which is when I have an appointment.

I have heard in the past from several friends who have tried many others including surgery, implants or non-medication alternative methods.

My daughter is on lamictal. We are at a pretty high dose. But we still have issues with her Myoclonic jerks from her JME. We are controlling big seizures. But hoping that this will help these morning Myoclonic stop.
I’ve been on 100mg twice a day for seizure control for about 2 years . Has anyone had issues with low blood levels of their Lamictal when they NEVER miss a dose? Also, any side effects from Lamictal? Thanks so much, Shirley
