Can melatonin cause any bad effects when being on depakote,lamictal and keppra?

My neurologist told me that I could have difficulty sleeping due to my medications and my overall condition. As I’m sure you all know, lack of a good night’s sleep will trigger seizures the next day.

I’m wondering if any of you have difficulty sleeping and if so what prescription meds or Over the Counter pills you take for this?

Thanks!

I believe the insomnia started with the addition of Zonisamide. It was manageable at the time.
For unknown reasons Post Surgery I’m not able to get any decent sleep.
We’re starting with trying melatonin. Then a sleep pill (trazadone). If neither work we’ll try lowering the zonisamide.

I often go on a 2 week spree without bearly any sleep. Half an hour here, maybe an hour there, and then after 2 weeks I totally collapse. Besides these 2 week sprees, I sleep very little. I am always tired and without any energy.

Does melatonin help with epilepsy

Just recently been on Zonegran. Am having wonderful results as far as no seizures but I find waking up and falling asleep hard. Is anyone else having this problem or is my sleep pattern just messed up? (I had a sleep test done and they could find nothing wrong there)
If I try to have an "early" night (10:30pm...coz I feel tired) I'll wake at midnight/1am and then have all sorts of trouble getting back to sleep

My neurologist increased my Fycompa dosage from 2mg to 4mg at the beginning of the month. A week later, I started struggling with depression issues- feeling sad, angered, tired, helpless and feeling like I'm a failure. Is there a correlation?
