    • Close Epilepsy & Seizures

      Started having problems about 5 yrs. ago with lightheadness, feeling of passing out, nausea, motion sickness in a moving vehicle and flashing lights. After lots of testing it was decided I was having seizures. They were so mild, I guess you could call them simple partial seizures. Can't seem to find a med that agrees with me. The seizures are under control, but the side effects of the meds make my life totally miserable.

      Treatments

      Keppra Somewhat Helpful
      Seems to be helping, but the side effects are very, very tired, cranky,short-tempered, unsteady on feet. Loss of energy is the worst, can't hardly work an 8 hrs. shift
      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      Seems to be working, but the side effects are nausea and unsteady on my feet. I get very car sick. I have a terrible motion-sickness problem with it, even with elevators.
      Tegretol Not Working
      This was my first med. It was horrible, I walked around like I was very, very drunk. Took less than 2 wks. to realize I couldn't take it.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      As described above.
      Paxil Not Working
      Tried this for anxiety. Actually made things worse.
