I have recently started topiramate. I have lots of the side effects including fatigigue, slow thinking, clumsy walking, messed up speech. My question is this: do these get better? As is, I would rather try something different.
I had horrible side effects couldn’t wake up didn’t eat couldn’t remember why I went out of one room by the time I got to the next. It was bad they took me off of it in a matter of a couple months… read more
Hang in there and stay pos or try to, my opinion
I smoked a bowl of "Curevana Delta 8 THC Flower COOKIES N' CREAM" and nothing has been the same since. I can't keep track of time, I'm not sure of the date, I seemed to have pissed off my neighbors something awful. Even Cops, Nurses, and Doctors seemed like they'd rather wipe my head off my shoulders.

Since having my first several seizures a I've realized that there are gaps in my memory of single events going back maybe 15 years.

In my research I (finally) discovered a type of… read more

I have on average one or two simple partials every month but sometimes I go for 3 months seizure free. The last complex partial was a year ago. I have a strong and lengthy aura on every seizure and my eye twitches strongly.
I've had quite a few neuro docs and seems like they all want me to take different meds. I've been on Trileptal and zonisamide for about 2… read more
