Default another new drug
Hello everyone. I have a hx of seizures for 30 years with multiple temporal lobe surgeries and just about every medication out there.
Even with all the procedures/meds I continue to have bothersome complex partial seizures.
I am on Lyrica and Lamictal, Lyrica being the "newest" medication for me to try. I am on 300 mg Lyrica, 150/150 and 650 Lamictal, 300/350. Unfortunately, I feel like CRAP since being on the med 2 months. Doctors reduced the dose a week ago and I still feel like CRAP and am still having seizures. I am experiencing just about every side effect mentioned on the drug pamphlet; dizzy, ataxia, headaches, jumpy insides, cognitive/memory/attention problems, blury vision, and other things even though on the med for two months. There is a call into the doc for more advice.
Anyone else out there that experienced a "bad time' on the Lyrica? It would be good to hear from others experiencing similar or the same problems and how they resolved them.

Hi SB and Welcome to NT. Sorry about all the problems you are having. I cannot take Lyrica; tried it once and it made me really loopy. I know some people have good luck w/it tho.... I'm sure someone will chime in w/some help for you. Hang in there....

SB,

Hello and welcome to NeuroTalk. Great to see you have come to be with us. You will find a great number of caring, supporting members here willing to help each other as they can.

I myself have been on lamital and Keppra four about six years and it did take awhile to kick in. Also some medcines for others don't. Hope you start getting good results.

I have given you the link to Epilepsy, you will find a great number of people there willing to help.

Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around.

Darlene
