I was on Epilim and Lamictal for my Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, bad shaking hands, was it Parkinson's disease, found reaction to Epilim!
Is there some sort of link between the effects of the
Epilim
and the effects of the AZ vaccine?

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?

Long term side effects of Lamictal on bones and teeth?
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

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

Hello , my question relates to my bloods, re Vitamin B12 replete Plasma Folate level, is a result of 7ng/ml ( 4.0-20.0) considered low?
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.

Levetiracetam information required
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.

Effect of warfarin on epilepsy medication
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?

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

Temporal Lobe Seizures and loss of memory
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.

Lamictal and electric shock nighttime 'seizures'
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?

Investigating use of a surrogate. Any advice welcomed
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.

It's finally time to share again with all you amazing people.
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

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.
