Experiences with

Epilim

My son has been prescribed Levetiracetam in addition to Epilim Chrono because his seizures continue. I’m unsure about this - especially as it seems to make him very irritable. He has a tendency to depression and irritability anyway as he also has Type 1 diabetes and an acquired brain injury.

The AED's the neurologist has tried are: phenytoin, keppra, epilim, lamictal and lethyl. He is now wanting to include fycompa into the mixture. I have also tried a keto diet and cbd oil as well. Is there anyone else on warfarin and AED's that have managed to get control over their seizures?

She is on Keppra, Lamictal and Epilim to control her seizures. Will an occasional glass of wine upset the balance of these medications?

Epilepsy I’m suffering Side effects from Epilim

After a really bad migraine episode the other night which had my Husband take me to A & E, I was next day contacted by my Neurologist who says that he wants me back on Epilim.

My doctor has put me on Epilim to see if it will help, epilepsy runs in my family but no one has ever had the type I have had. This is all new and very very scary for me as I am struggling with my short term memory.

hi I take epilim and keppra I’ve had epilepsy since I was 14 now 31. This is my first time posting But I’ve never been worried about epilepsy and always just got on with it my seizures are controlled with my medication but recently I’ve started to think about the side effects.

I have had JME for nearly fifty years, but I was on Keppra, then Epilim, then Fycompa, all with Lamictal from circa 2012 that caused the question?

Unfortunately I am on epilim (an anti epileptic) which has been shown to be a risk of physical and cognitive abnormalities. My neurologist was supportive of my previous attempts to conceive but due to recent new guidelines and research is now less so. I am anxious about the risk.

I wanted to know whether anyone here (whether for CBD or PSP) has taken Epilim (sodium valproate) and whether you’ve noticed an increase in sleep and confusion? Mum has CBD. Thanks,

I'm finally on max Epilim and Epitec and they've added a new one to the cocktail last week. After the epilepsy my body started doing strange things (and I'm not referring to the fits). I developed Hypertension, Water Retention, Extreme Anxiety, Depression, Cholesterol and rather memory loss.

To further decrease epilim this week. I've been made to feel like such a monster since finding out, my own mother is not supportive, some health professionals have been so cruel and harsh to me and I feel like I've had no support. I am absoloutley terrified and feel so alone.

My wife has terrible shaking with Epilim and through our GP we are trying to ditch the Ep and move on to Keppra. Does one come off the ep entirely? We are on 150mg Lamotrigine, 400mg Epilim and 1000mg Keppra. Would the 400mg Epilim still cause shaking/tremors?

She has been on Epilim Chrono since she was 7yo. I was told that, as of two weeks ago, the Health Department's policy is that all girls of childbearing age are to go on contraception if they choose to continue taking sodium valproate - either the coil, the pill or injection.

Good day I have a 10 year old daughter that has epilepsy she is currently on 800mg of Epilim. She would be so normal and next minute she is unconscious.

He is taking clobazam, keppra, tegretol and epilim and the best control we have had is one daily for a month at the same time of day.

I've been on Epilim eversince. Could you please point out any side effects of these? As I've noticed that eversince I started taking them I've been having occassional vertigos and heart palpitations, however the GP said that it could be of other reasons. Thanks

I am on Epilim (low dose) Cipralex 15mg, Fluanxol for anxiety 1mg, and Xanor 0.5mg SR morning and night. Am I on too many or just enough?
