Epilim and folate / change to lamotrigine ?
I was put on Epilim in my teens. Some years later, I became symptom free, and I was unmedicated for 10 years. I had to go back on Epilim Chrono five years ago - which may have been triggered by my thyroid problems. I’ve been on the thyroid forum, where it transpires that I am short on folate. A quick

Cenobamate experience
After an increase in seizure frequency my consultant is talking about changing me from keppra + lamotragine to Keppra + Cenobamate. The only review I can find of Cenobamate are on drugs.com. It does tend to attract negative reviews. The consensus seems to be that it works for epilepsy, but the side

Irritability in the evenings
I have always had a hard time transitioning from work to home. Even before I had kids, I would have to decompress before I could even talk to my husband. With kids, it’s worse because I just have to jump into being with them, making dinner, laundry etc. I have built in a little break for myself that

New ADHD diagnosis for my 6 year old girl
My little girl is newly diagnosed with ADHD though I’m not that shocked. The past year of school has been incredibly challenging: hitting the teacher, explosive emotions, easily frustrated, highly impulsive. This school year started and after she headbutted the floor, I decided to consult a doctor. The

Keppra increases
Started on 250mg. keppra tonight after failing clonodine quickly (leg cramps and increased blood pressure did in that one). 250mg isn't enough, at least tonight, and I am wondering how quickly I should increase. Doc says I can go up to 750mg. and I have a terrible time with tolerating medicines. Any

Advice required
I had I seizure in 2010 and my MRI was clear, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t have an EEG. I was put on Epilim chrono 1200 mg and have been seizure free since. I went privately so looks like they just signed me off and I never got any NHS follow ups. About a year ago I went back to my GP and asked due

Help with blood test interpretation for my daughter
Hello Everyone, I'm new here and asking for my 18 year old daughter. I've come over from the Thyroid UK forum at their suggestion. She's been quite unwell for about 3-4 years slowly getting worse. We've been stuck with unhelpful medics both private and NHS who have not got anywhere with her symptoms

What dose of adderall is your child on?
Hi everyone! My son is 7 years old and up to 15mg of Adderall XR. I don’t see it working much anymore and the next increase will be 20mg. If your kid is around the same age and on Adderall, please share their milligram/dosing. Or did your kid not have the best results on it and switch to another stimulant

Claiming PIP again!
Hi I had bilateral chronic subdural haematoma and burr hole drainage in Feb 2022. I had a fall and broke my leg the previous summer which led to the brain bleeds. I applied for PIP last year after coming out of hospital and even though I went to tribunal I scored 0 points. I've just made the phone call

Rheumatoid Meningitis
Has anyone out there had rheumatoid meningitis? I was recently treated for it and am looking for others who have had this experience or just experience with recovering from aseptic meningitis in general. I was diagnosed with RF positive RA in 2012. My disease has been stable on Cimzia for 6+ years.

Hi all, I was diagnosed with Epilepsy approximately 30 years ago, i had a spell of nasty seizures. However I was controlled for decades on Phenytoin without my levels checked or being given any care regarding Epilepsy since that time. This lead me to hiding other ill effects, including from the medication

I'm new
I'm new to this forum. I had viral encephalitis in December 22 and was admitted to hospital following a seizure. I have since been diagnosed with brain scarring and some atrophy. I take Keppra to prevent seizures. I had hoped to recover quicker but I'm finding it a very slow process. I can now read and
