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.

I Remember Saying One Thing- But Others Say I Said Something Different. Any Ideas For Handling The Emotions- Crush, Defeat, & Defense?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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.

Has Anyone Suffered Severe Side Effects From Trileptal?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neurologist prescribed this for me in late Nov 2023, with a dosage increase to occur weekly to reach full dose in 1 month. I only made it to week 3 and started having blurred vision and severe stomach upset/constipation. I stopped taking and have not yet been prescribed any alternative. I continue to take lamictal, since transitioning to trileptal failed.😟

I'm on Keppra but not the other. I have a hard time falling asleep instead of being tired.
