Hi and welcome. I was recently put on lamictal and it seems to be helping much better than the other medications they have tried on me. I haven't had but one or two breakthrough seizures in the past few months but I do have a lot of false alarms (aura with no seizure) that seem to be getting me down. If I have an aura, I won't drive for a week (although when I drive I don't go more than a mile away) to be sure. I've always had auras first, so I feel like I've been fortunate in that aspect of things because it sort of gives me a better way to plan things.

When I was having problems not sleeping well and feeling tired during the day, they had found out I was having nocturnal seizures. Not that I'm suggesting that's what's going on with you, however, it is always best to have things checked out by your doctor.

Keep in touch and again, welcome!
