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.

This is the strongest of my frequent anti-seizure medication. Makes me tired most of the time. Again, every four to six months I have breakthrough seizures so it does work work most of the time.
