I've been on my meds, and have a few, but, not nothing abnormal with and am used to, what are your thoughts and such, you don't have to answer the question here If you don't feel like it.
I've taken some medication that I had some side-effects like feeling very tired all the time. I've also had alot of depression when I was growing up with seizures and sometimes today I get depressed.
I took it in the ‘90’s. I gained weight and slept all the time
I am aware that skipping pills could lead to seizures.I am on Vimpat and it has worked great but skipping pills could lead to grand mal seizures. I had a grand mal seizure about a month ago due to not taking my medicine correctly. I've been taking my medicine just fine recently but starting to have petit mal seizures (staring for 10/20 seconds). Can medicine just stop working? can epilepsy continue to get worse?
I'm taking 500mg of Dilantin (Phenytoin) daily. Been seizure free for about 25 years.
Has anyone taken Depakote? If so, did you experience any side effects?
It helped my son if wasn't for depkote he won't do things he loves doing what he wants to do it really helped him he really happy active 5 year old
I have focal seizures and I have not had success with several meds. Is there any other bloodwork that was effective in diagnosing epilepsy? or non epileptic seizures?
My drs taking me off Xanax bc he says it only last 4 hrs a day and that I need to be on something that lasts longer. He recently put me on klonopin but it feels like it’s doing the opposite effect on me?! My system is weird like that. I’m curious what do most of y’all take for anxiety??
I wish could help out Stacy not needing them . Talk it through with your different DR and right balance . I'll be praying for you as always. Ericthom3
