Advice & Tips
Starting Lamictal helped my seizures a great deal, and since I started taking it, I've only had two episodes, and they werent Grand Mal seizures! I take it once a day, and honestly, I dont mind taking it at all if it helps me. Only side affect of this medication is a little bit of a headache every once in a while, which i'm not sure is due to the headache, epilepsy, or other medications i'm taking. I would definately reccomend this medication to people with partial complex epilepsy.

Advice & Tips
I think this medicine is more of a mood stabalizer, not a good anti convulsant. I am on a " good week" right now, expecting my monthly TC in a few days, stress and anxiety are what brings on my seizures, along with the inability to sleep a full night, I have to NOT BY CHOICE take several naps a day, because I will just fall asleep. This med is probably the best I used for my epilepsy, considering the others made me want to do really bad things, anger, horrible it was. I really hate taking meds everyday, and my Dr keeps increasing my dose every 2 weeks, when we are on the increase I always have really bad depression, fatigue, mood swings, dizzy, cannot sleep, cant get off the couch or floor, and depressing thoughts fill my head, I feel like I am not in my own body, and I always freak out, and call my DR, to make sure I am not going crazy, but they are NO help, he tells me to see a shrink. which I am starting to do next Tuesday.
