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.

Pregnancy and epilepsy
So I then put myself back onto
epilim
as I knew this had previously worked well in the past. My partner and I would really love to have another child next year, starting to try in October 2018 (after holiday!!).

Migraine management
There have been dozens of prophylactics over the years, from Amitriptyline to
Epilim
, Gabapentin to Topiramate. In every case, the side effects eventually proved so unpleasant and life draining that I had to give them up.

Long term Lamictal side effects!
I was put onto
Epilim
on December 2013, after the wild 'electric shock' episodes I was having with Lamictal, which would happen just before I went to sleep, it did not hurt at the time, and the severity would seemingly be random. Sometimes being thrown out of the bed, even twice in one night!

Swollen puffy red eye lids
Been epileptic 25years
Epilim
ecgr 200mg. Fultium 3200 calcichew d3. Detailed in a previous advice post. Any ideas if the eye symptoms and feeling awful run down could be auto immune related? Or just a coincidence? I'm always worrying about her.

Thyroid Function with Sodium Valporate
He was put on Sodium Valporate (
Epilim
100 mg) for 4 years now. He is now removed from this drug as signs of the sickness are no more. Apparently this type of condition does happen and disappears as they grow up. My concern is: can this treatment have an effect on his growth (Height specifically) ?

Pregablin
I've been prescribed it to help with nocturnal seziures, in addition to taking
Epilim
. It seems to have stopped the nocturnal seziures but wonder if it causes any other side effects.

Please help
I've been diagnosed with epilepsy in July and started on
epilim
500 twice a day. I'm now on 800 a day and still having seizures. Every time I go see the doctor they just increase my dose. My ct scan and eeg came back normal. I don't know what to do anymore. Feeling helpless and alone.

Seizures?
I've been put on medication (
Epilim
) and I am also on Fluoxetine to help fight the depression. I do not remember anything during the seizures and I got extremely violent during them - including towards my own mother (which I am disgusted myself with).

Just in need of moral support
I then had another seizure 7 weeks later and was put into
Epilim
. I was then changed from that due to side effects to Keppra. I was steady on that for a year and then in January this year I suffered from two tonic clonic seizures within 10 days of each other.

You have the ability to recover
I was then scheduled for an EEG scan and thus they found that I had Abnormal electrical impulses and so my Doctor decided to give me another box of
Epilim
pills which would mean double the side effects and my Doctor told me that if I had another seizure he would put me on lamotrigine.
