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 energy before I take my meds in morning but shortly after I do I end up sleeping no matter what
Yes
Me tooooo!!!
I have days where I have to really fight to stay awake. It's next to impossible to keep my eyes open.
I've been tested for a lot of things; but so far no answers.
Yesterday I underwent a Doppler ultrasound of my carotid arteries. (I'll have to wait several days for the results.)
Has anyone else experienced such sleepiness?
Sometimes I sleep well at night. Other times ( like last night)
I don’t sleep at all. It varies.
I’m on a lot of medication for a variety of conditions. Within the last two years I’ve had some teeth removed. This is in spite of brushing my teeth really well. I’ve been trying to drink a half gallon of water every day.
Something I learned long ago is that Dilantin can take a toll on your teeth.
I know now they say not to take mysoline while pregnant but 45 years ago it was given. What happens when it is taken while pregnant?
can people go into remission on dilantin medicated
Im on 400 a day.. i weigh 204
Working good..
Vimpat made me have terrible anxiety. I had to take myself off of it. I don't remember any strange dreams.
Is there any particular epilepsy medication that damages your eyesight? I wear glasses but I am finding all the medication I am on is making my vision worse. I'm not sure which drug is causing the problem but when I go to my opticians I'm going to ask them.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , it’s true, there are some medications that have side effects with our vision. Hearing , that I’m not sure.
i would like to know what is your worst meds? that one (or more) med that makes you have your seizures to worsen. mine is Depakote and Dilantin.
