Same. I’m popping lamotrigine and clobazam with hot chocolate and watching episodes of the real housewives of NY that I’ve already seen because that’s all I can follow tonight. Atlanta would be too complicated. Like doors.

Also on clobazam (and Keppra) and it’s great but makes me so wobbly

It’s weird stuff because it stays in your system so long for a benzo. Days. I always forget that I definitely shouldn’t re-dose after an hour or so because the full effect is nowhere near there yet. Sometimes I don’t notice the feeling of it until the next day.

Same, also worried because I was told they might try lamotrigine next and friends have said that’s the absolute worst (had horrible side effects with Tegretol and Topamax)

Been on both and they didn’t help with my epilepsy and now I am on Zonegran 500mg a day and I am tired all the time and my hair is falling out slowly but it works better than the rest of the meds that I have been on.

I’ve never tried that one. Did you get any psychological side effects with it? That’s what I can’t cope with with AEDs.

Tegretol made me depressed. And Topamax made everything taste like salt so I barely ate. Keppra made me super angry for two weeks then calmed down.
