Lacosamide increase

[Dawn43]

Last night was the 3rd night of increasing lacosamide. It doesnt seem to be agreeing with me as each night since i go to bed with a terrible headache and this morning I've been so agitated I couldnt bear listening to hubby going on about irrelevant things he's watched on tv. I feel like im back to the point where im going to explode. Is it worth asking the epilepsy nurse today if i can go back to original dosage?
