new symptoms

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.

So sorry to hear that. I had the same symptons on my last medication as well as bruising easily and slurred speech! I also burned myself twice on the cooker and did not realise and my moods were so dark. The med was Perampanel, it was about the 8th med I have tried, needless to say I came off of it. I am now starting med number 9 so fingers crossed, lets hope it's less debilitating. It's a long hard road, I wish you well.
