1:Lost in memory
2:Gain in physical weight
3: Speech issue
4: Daily seizures (which are triggering though various types of reasons)

[@ACR909]

I wish you a speedy recovery ❤

[@StupidDamDummy]

@@jirapreparation921we need some more research and studies on epilepsy! We need something that can greatly reduce the likelihood of seizures, that aren’t medications.

[@kwandamadela7707]

Wait, so daily seizures are side effects of your ASM? Aren't ASM supposed to prevent the seizures? I'm sorry I'm confused

[@JayOnEarth12321]

Peace Love Unity Respect 🙏

[@g-noraturab3052]

One type seizure med does not work well. Dr. switch it, has less side effects 😊. Agreed take meds don’t stop,

[@vincentmcgarry3598]

I weaned off and stopped after 6 months,will i seizure again?What are the withdrawal symptons?

[@azteceyes5613]

I would depends on what your doctor said, if they were able to “cure”/ stop the seizures symptoms. Because every one is vastly different & similar. I started getting mine every 2 months from August to Christmas (hindsight I was missing doses with ASM). Now 7 months later I’ve been better but had a minor seizure so doctors are your best friends

[@StupidDamDummy]

Theres a good chance they will come back unfortunately. I was seizure free for 3 months with no meds, then I seized up randomly one day. Now i am making sure to take my meds everyday, even though i don’t like taking meds.
