I felt like that on lamictal. I get myoclonic jerks and i went a year feeling like I really really needed to have one and just couldn't. It made my absense seizures stop but by making me permanently absent really. I was a zombie.

I think that the medicine will be fine in the end. I just think it is funny. If a doctor was prescribing medicine for anything else those side effects would be unnacceptable but in the world of AEDs just losing your hair and all extra weight means "tolerated well".

LOL.
