Sugar-I take 100/100 Lamictal and now the epi has prescribed me .5 valium to help with sleep. This seems to be a very good combination. I refused to take ambien due to all of the horrible side...
It sounds to me like your daughter is letting her fiancee control her. It sounds to me as if he is controlling. If she does not let you partake in her own wedding, this is something that she will...
Well I got my test results back and had an appointment to go over them with my epileptologist who came right out and said, "I don't know why. Take the lamictal, and I'm going to up your dose." When I...
Gracie's Mom-Just went and saw my epileptologist today and my test results came back normal except for there was something wrong with my heartbeat during the eeg. He basically said, even though I...
Gracie's Mom-Thanks so much for your reply! I've been thinking all of this time that maybe I was just the weirdest person on earth. Noises and lights really don't bother me, except the lights on the...
It sounds like epilepsy to me. They say that if you have two or more seizures than usually that means you are epileptic. I'm no doctor so I really don't know. I'm awaiting diagnosis myself. Good luck!...
Apparently, my trigger is kind of strange because I haven't found too many to relate, so if you know anyone who has this same trigger please please please let me know. My trigger is pain. Not like...

Hi Carla, my epileptologist took me off keppra due to terrible mood swings. I just wasn't myself. I've never felt so bad except during a seizure in my life. I turned into someone that I'm not. I was...
Shaun-how do they determine the difference between an epileptic seizure and a non-epileptic seizure?...
Hi Jennie, my doctor took me off keppra because of all of the mood swings and I'm currently taking lamictal. The lamictal works much better with me, and with everyone else around me....
Hi, this may sound gross, but I think a common characteristic of Grand-Mals is losing your bladder control. I can't hear anything when I have them until I wake up. But it definitely sounds like some...
Hi I am taking Lamictal and although I just started in about 2 weeks ago, I have found that I have had a few bouts of insomnia. Nothing to bad though. Just some extra middle of the night snacks....
Hi I'm new here and this is my first post. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had a seizure due to pain? Not like head trauma pain, but just accident pain. I've had approximately 52 Grand-Mal...
