Experiences with

Epilim

She moved through Lamotrigine to Epilim. She missed a few doses that resulted in three tonic clonic seizures. As a result, her neurologist prescribed an increased dose of Epilim. She is currently on 500 mg Epilim in the evening and 300 mg Epilim in the morning.

Is there some sort of link between the effects of the Epilim and the effects of the AZ vaccine?

So could it be just the same side effects of the Epilim/Lamictal and Vimpat/Briviact that is the trouble?

I took Lamictal for my JME epilepsy, with Keppra, Epilim and Fycompa, my dentist was always ticking me off for years, I was paying for expensive fillings, crowns, etc, I wondered why, even going onto electric toothbrushes, still severe 'slap on the wrists' "Why don't use ...." blah, blah, then when

In that time, on Epilim and lamictal, side effects of Epilim, meant I was tested for Parkinson's disease, severe shaking of hands, [negative] (my father had had Parkinson's){one. two} then new specialist {three} in December 2016, I smashed my chest, broke at least 5 ribs in February 2017, [tried suicide

I also have generalised seizures occasionally too and have changed medication to epilim which does not stop them.

I have been following the 4 month change over from keppra to epilim because I had a seizure Jan 2020. I took the last keppra on friday 29th Jan 21 and had a seizure on Sunday 31st Jan.

I have epilepsy and been using medication for 40yrs, sodium valproate/epilim. Just discovering it can stop vitamins and minerals being absorbed into the body properly and cause Thyroid problems.

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?

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.

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

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.

Epilepsy I’m suffering Side effects from Epilim

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'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.

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,

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.
