In 2016 taken off Epilim, almost Parkinson's disease shaking hands,

Hi, Is there anyone on here been changed to
briviact
from keppra? If so, did the change improve your condition? I have been on lamictal and keppra for years at the highest doses.

I was on Epilim and Lamictal for my Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, bad shaking hands, was it Parkinson's disease, found reaction to Epilim!
drawing classes, artistic family, hands really steady I was 61 years old then, BUT really dangerous other side effects meant I had to get off Fycompa, causing smashed body breakages, violent seizures via combination of medications as I changed them, I have had one seizure since being on Vimpat and

Essential tremors for Epilim and Lamictal [2013-2016] now same thing for Vimpat and Briviact [2018- 2021 ......
So could it be just the same side effects of the Epilim/Lamictal and Vimpat/
Briviact
that is the trouble?

Levothyroxine, Vimpat and Briviact together?
Hi, Does anyone know if I could take Levo, Vimpat and
Briviact
together in the mornings? Only just began the Vimpat today and told by my new Neurologist that it's best to take Levo in the morning... Thank you for your help. Best wishes, Tina

"You're a one off!"; Schwannamatosis; Briviact, long term memory gain; Lamictal/Lamotrigine, 'electric shock' episodes; alergic to morphine
even have a high pain threshold, examples were that I slashed my right hand, the female doctor 'patched' up my hand, I tried to 'chat her up', I regularly dislocate my right shoulder, a side effect of a epilepsy seizure, I reset it again despite the grimaces of people nearby; I have been taking 50 mg

Long term memory gain?
Since April 2018 I have been taking Vimpat 400 mg and
Briviact
50mg I have not had any seizures, I started on Vimpat in Nov. 2017, but had about 10 seizures, between then, but it was from April 30 2018 that the real changes took place.

Briviact and dosage
I am having side effects when I was changed my dosage from 1 50mg at night to 25mg morning and 25mg night, about 6 weeks ago. 50mg at night was fine but hyper active caused lack of sleep, no seizures since started in April 2018, moved to 25mg twice a day, but now irratible, sleep bad, odd dreams, and

BRIVIACT and Kidney Stones?
Do
Briviact
cause Kidney stones?
Briviact
makes me hyper active, thus hard to get to sleep. Would it be an idea to take 25 mg
Briviact
200 mg Vimpat at night, 25 mg
Briviact
200 mg morning instead? Thus easier get to sleep and less likely to get Kidney stones?

Lamictal and electric shock nighttime 'seizures'
I am now completely off the Lamictal, now on Vimpat and
Briviact
, and Lisinopril. Those electric shock nighttime attacks have NEVER been diagnosed to me in any form or fashion, but I am 100% certain it has something to do with the Lamictal?
