Is Anyone On Here Taking Lamotrigine?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is anyone on here taking lamotrigine? I’m up to 150mg twice a day at the moment which seemed control my seizures for a while, but I had several nocturnal seizures in the early hours of Wednesday morning which left me with a horrendous headache which lasted all day and unable to function. Didn’t sleep last night as I just can’t switch off. Tried to get some sleep today but not happening, which is leaving very tired and frightened. I wish this illness would go away….think I’m losing my mind.

Is Lamotragine Good For Controlling Myaclonus?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi everyone
My Neurologist has suggested taking Lamotragine alongside Leveteracitam to control Myaclonus. Leveteracitam has reduced the Myaclonus considerably but I still have them especially when I cant manage tiredness, stress or in an environment that brings anxieties. Does anyone take Lamotragine and if so does it reduce Myaclonic seizures? and what are the side effects people are experiencing on this drug?

Lamotrigene Vs Brivarcetam. Which Is Best For Cognition Issues
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Cnbkratz
asked a question 💭
I’ve been prescribed Lamotrigene for Focal Awareness seizures.
It helps with seizures but not quality of life. I’m experiencing cognitive deficits, anxiety, directionally impaired, tremor in right arm and more. I’ve read that Brivarcetam has less of an impact on cognition. Can you let me know your experience? Thanks!
