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.

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?

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.

Epilim
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,

Pregnancy and epilim/keppra
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.

Sodium valproate and contraception
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.

Epilim to Keppra
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?

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

Son recently diagnosed
He is on
Epilim
now 800mg daily, and I am praying that he does not have another seizure. I feel extremely anxious for him and worried that something bad will happen. My husband (not his dad) literally checked out of the situation and is not helpful at all.

Are these epilepsy symptoms???
She is currently taking
Epilim
which seems to keep seizures under control on the whole. There are the odd days here and there when she has absences but she hasn't had a tonic clonic seizure since treatment began. However, she is struggling.
