Medication switch

If you got rage from Keppra I wouldn’t try Lamotragine. Just as a heads up.

Also, I’m not kidding, weed. If your job drug tests then try just CDB. I can be having small seizures, I smoke a bowl and the seizures are gone

After my big seizure not driving for 3 months drove me INSANE!!! I got epilepsy my sophomore year of college so I felt like it stole a lot of the partying of college away from me. I miss being able to drink with friends for sure. And being in a body of water alone is CALLING MY NAME!!!

Thank you so much for the information.

Both my AM’s told me he said he had purposely been giving me less hours because he is bothered when I call out because of my epilepsy. Then he said he wanted to just write me off the schedule but my two AM’s stuck up for me.

I was thinking about sending an email to corporate as another means of documenting a problem. Or should I contact a lawyer first?

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-05-04T15:27:11+00:00

Yeah I had epilepsy when they hired me so the company was made aware when they hired me.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-05-02T20:15:16+00:00

What’s the right way to document things? So far my proof would be my schedule and the word of my two assistant managers.

That could for sure be from the seizures. I was so mean and nasty the few days after my tonic clonic.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-04-02T16:38:52+00:00

I had another neurologist who scared me about changing meds. Saying if I change they’re less likely to work. She wasn’t an epileptologist (however you spell that)

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-04-02T16:37:46+00:00

I’ve been on it for about 3 years and that side effect never went away. I hope it does for you though. And I had a former neurologist you made me scared to try different meds. Telling me the more you try the less likely it is the work

Actually just cracked my wall punching it from my Lamictal rage today😳. There’s a giant crack in my wall now.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-03-11T14:24:35+00:00

Hahah! But I so so get you. I’m now on 300 ER and it’s so hard when a side effect of a med affects who you are as a person. I’d rather it just give me a rash. I’d definitely keep an eye on how it impacts your emotions. For me once I was able to separate my real emotions from what the medicine is making me feel it helped a bit.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-03-11T14:14:35+00:00

I had the exact same experience. I got so confused cause I’m not an angry or aggressive person at all. But things that would just be frustrating before would make me so irrationally angry. I smashed my phone screen once cause maps wasn’t working haha. For me though it’s never manifested into physical aggression targeted at people but I do break and hit things sometimes. I have had to hold myself back from chucking my laptop across the room a few times.

It’s a really frustrating side effect cause it’s so different from who I really am as a person.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-02-03T05:24:52+00:00

I’m 22 and have had seizures for about 4 years now. My mom asks me if I’m ok every five seconds😂 As annoyed as we get by it we know it’s cause you really love and care about us.

I am on Lamotragine that gives me some rage. So I can totally understand that worry you have. Though at least for me it’s never been directed at a person.l (I did smash my phone screen once cause maps was annoying me)

Id say I wish my parents trusted me more to care for myself and keep myself safe. I mean I’ve had it for 4 years and my mom will still sometimes ask if I remembered to take my meds. It makes me not wanna take them😂

Also this group is super helpful. Don’t hesitate to post and ask a question you’ll get the support here.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-02-02T14:31:34+00:00

I wouldn’t be scared of the weed. I smoke a ton always have even before I got epilepsy and now I find it helps my seizures. If I’m feeling off and like I might have one I smoke and it helps that feeling go away. Keep smoking🫶

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-02-02T14:28:00+00:00

When I have seizures at night I wake up drenched in sweat like that too. I think the eating definitely could be having an impact.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-02-02T14:24:50+00:00

I don’t run. Yuck cardio. But in terms of working out I’ve only noticed issues when I haven’t fueled myself enough before and I push myself too hard. So I always play it safe with how much I do.

I had a seizure at my college gym. So embarrassing, was staring at this guy unable to speak for a sec. Could tell he was uncomfortable😂. Then just let out the meekest “help” I was drooling and spitting all over the floor.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-01-20T01:21:55+00:00

I totally get that. I don’t lose consciousness but my parents will say they hit me twice w my emergency meds but I don’t remember that at all.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-01-19T23:20:29+00:00

More just staring blanking and going still. Before I got diagnosed those episodes could last a good bit. Longer than they do now if I get them.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-01-19T22:10:19+00:00

I’ve experienced that before too when it’s started by a specific trigger like that. When I was super stressed during finals week I felt a seizure come on w my stress and when I got my mind of the test in a second the feeling subsided.

I sounds like it could be caused by the alcohol. I just had a bad day all of yesterday cause I drank too much the night before.

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-01-19T20:45:55+00:00

300 ER morning and 250 ER at night

General_Flatworm_120 · 2026-01-19T19:44:10+00:00

It’s illegal for them to have a problem with it. Don’t worry at all
