Just type in the search box 'long term side effects" that will tell you them if there are any. If want to know all just type in search box side effects of name of med it will tell all.
My son had a big seizure, his mouth was very wet with frothy blood stained spit. The Buccallam didn't seem to work, probably because it wasn't absorbed. Epistatus is a lesser amount and absorbed more readily I have been told
He needed oxygen for 30 minutes to get his sats back up. Thank God the paramedics got there quickly
He may need to go back on Sodium Valproate, it's the only one that stopped the seizures. He is Autistic with learning difficulties. So complex and vulnerable. Anyone else… read more
I am on Sodium Valproate, alongside Keppra, Topiramate, Pregabalin, and Vitamin D3 with Folate(as my body gets stripped of both). For rescue meds I either get oral Clobazam, or Diazepam.
If this is temporary when does your appetite increase and the dreaded weight gain start?
I've been talking Lamotragine for 2wks after being on Keppra.
I've expecting bad side effects. Tremors, sickness.
Has anyone else had these side effects and how long did they last.
What is the best medicine to use as a substitute of Keppra when a woman wants to get pregnant and she is 11 years seizures free and on Keppra 500mg twice a day?

Keppra is a leader in safe anti epileptic drugs for pregnancy. I've been waiting for… read more
I had blood tests done. Important indicator - Valproate (is 4 times less than the smallest permissible limit)
And TSH Thyroid hormone, which is 1.5 times above the norm. I know valproate is an important indicator and low values lead to seizures. I drink Konvulex chrono-DEPAKIN (in 800 mg per day, but apparently not enough. How many of you take DEPAKIN?
In what weights? In combination with what drugs?
I am not a doctor to give you advise on this matter.
Hope all turns out ok.
Have a blessed day.
Does anyone get hand tremors from epilepsy medication?
If any, which ones and how do I handle this problem
yes i do when i start to have a seizure of any kind on my right hand is where it begins
I’ve been narrowing down on when my seizures happen and I have found that they happen the week of my period. They are always grand mauls and last 10 seconds to one minute. I want to learn more about other women who experience the same thing.
I’ve been on clonazepam for almost two years now. I’m prescribed to take more two days before my period, but because I have an IUD it’s hard to track when my periods are coming. Especially the ones… read more
On the exact period of time in the calendar (week) you have seizures?
Since my VNS activated in November 2023, the beginning and end of the month.
