new symptoms

[JDQuinn75]

Back in February I had to do another change in prescription for my epilepsy medication. Ever since I finished it back in March the eight week cycle I’ve had new symptoms happening. Lose of balance, fatigue, having trouble sleeping at night plus throbbing in both of me feet on the top warm ness in my chest and down my spine as well. With the loss of balance happening now I’m half way tempted to start using a wheelchair for safety reason. But what am I dealing with is the question? Does anyone know from the symptoms I’ve listed? Thanks in advance.

Hi, these sound tough symptoms to deal with. I hope you hear from others here. 

It's possible your symptoms could be related to your epilepsy ( epilepsy.org.uk/info/seizures) or they could be side effects of medicines (epilepsy.org.uk/info/treatm.... But they could be something else  as well. 

Our advice is to keep a diary of what you're noticing and talk to your doctor about what you're noticing. 

Our information is based on what's available in the UK and I noticed you live in the USA. I'm linking you to the Epilepsy Foundation in America as well who may be able to give you more advice: epilepsy.com/
