Did Anyone Have Night Terrors Before Being On Medication(specifically Lamictal) And Now Don't?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Pre Epilepsy and specifically since adapting to Lamotrigine I used to have night terrors / hallucinations everyday for 2 weeks on and off roughly every 3 months. I've not had any after being on Lamotrigine for 8 months. It's now been over a yr since I had bad night terrors so I thought maybe it's from the medication given they are also used for bipolar disorder.

Diagnosed with temporal focal seizures last year and I thought that the meds were helping- and found out that family and friends have just not mentioned it because they think that I am fragile, and don’t want a confrontation with me Incase I get defensive.

If You Have Replaced Tegretol, Which Other Drug Took Its Place?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Diego, CA

Following my neurofeedback sessions I was able to reduce my seizures significantly. And the seizures I continue to have almost always occur when I am asleep. It would seem as though I can control my brain activity much better when awake.

What year did you get it?

Vision

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Massaachusetts

I've been on lamotrigine which caused double vision only when I was having a toxic reaction. Now I'm switching over to trileptal and it's seeming that it's constant now. Whether I'm wearing my glasses or not. I'm going to go get an eye exam once I'm up to the full dose without the lamotrigine.

Anyone have similar? I know it's a potential effect of a lot of the AEDs
