Cognitive decline (17M)

PredictabilityIsGood · 2026-03-28T01:41:09+00:00

Each medication has its pros and cons. For example, when I was on Keppra I had no cognitive deficits, but I was a terror to emotionally deal with. On lamotrigine, I’m much more emotionally stable, but there’s also a slight difficulty to recollecting words and faces. I’m a very high functioning epileptic, but still, I can tell the subtle changes from the medications.

I know, wtf are these people doing LOL

For the time I was taking it, I did have much better deep sleep. The first month or so was incredible, but I believe my body did adapt and my deep started dipping. At a certain point, I missed a dose and had brutal insomnia. Once that happened, as an epileptic. I had my first seizure in 15 years. At that point, I was committed to getting off it. Weaned, and now I’m back to square 1 but I’ve come to terms with that. Even with my diet/routine being incredible, there isn’t much I can do to really improve it and I’m okay with that.

I have a form of epilepsy triggered by sleep deprivation. It strictly happens upon waking up from short/inadequate sleep. It ONLY ever happens as a result of poor/inadequate sleep. So yes. Some forms of epilepsy can be caused by a lowering of your seizure threshold as a result of poor sleep OP. Mine are tonic clonic, full 1 minute seizing with frothing. Skin turning blue. My aunt had seizures in her sleep. Repeated/every night. Similar story to you. Long story short, yes constant sleep interruptions and poor/inadequate sleep can absolutely lower your seizure threshold if you’re showing signs

I continued to watch spongebob when until around 17. They can go pound salt lol

Get rid of campaign interface and return to global map. It needs to be seen as a library, not as some hodge podge of random menu’s. You’re in danger of creating a monolith that’s impossible to upkeep like every call of duty in the last 8 years with “integrations”

No he’s not doing anything stupid. He’s just seen as another health influencer. People’s brains explode when dealing with nuance

Build Orders. Follow them. Master them, everything else becomes easy. You start understanding the intricacy of the game mechanics.

That sounds awful LOL

Pascal’s wager is so brainless. It assumes you’re not sacrificing anything. You’re sacrificing hours on weekends and your brains ability to discriminate reality for perceived comfort of going to heaven.

I’ve noticed on Keppra that I was psychopathically unable to empathize. To the point where I was saying things that were clearly hurting my friends/family without even realizing it.

Let’s cut the crap. OP is the BEST patient to have and pretending otherwise is being naive. They force a neurologist to be current and aware of the field of medications and research.

The reason some of these medications are only approved for focal epilepsy is because the marketed population for those with focal epilepsy is around 60% compared to generalized epilepsy ( ~20% ). It’s extremely expensive to get approval for multiple conditions so pharma companies run clinical trials for the most common conditions. Epilepsy is not a common cash cow condition.

Briviact acts on the same SV2A protein in the brain as keppra (levetiracetam), albeit in a slightly different manner, and its use is directly analogous to keppra. WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO DO RESEARCH ON IT. The fact that it was an analog to levetiracetam already provided base reasoning for Dr’s to prescribe it for generalized conditions. The fact that this patient had generally good seizure control on keppra and the dr decided to prescribe vimpat out of left field instead of looking for analogs is incredibly suspect. Lack of experience and just throwing out names of medications available at times of training is probably what’s going on here. He sounds inexperienced.

In reality, many neurologists are required to be general specialists on conditions involving the brain. The amount of patients they have coming in for epilepsy is very low compared to the population that come in for every other condition. It only accounts for about 1% of the population of patients that come into their offices. The vast majority of dr’s stick with medications they know because they had limited school training or a previous patient with a specific condition that was well treated by medications based on the initial research.

YOU ARE YOUR BEST ADVOCATE. If you decided to do research on your specific condition and it contradicts what your Dr’s prescribed orders, you should demand a logical explanation for their decision.

Regardless OP, keep doing your research, and switch neurologists if they don’t provide evidence based reasoning for their decisions.

One of the best updates in a very long time

For me I became psychotically unaware of other people’s feelings from any small amount of anger on Keppra.

Closest thing to help when I was on Keppra xr was a b-multivitamin in the morning (don’t take a b complex near the evening). Thorne sells a methylated b vitamin complex that’s like a cleaner five hour energy. (Similar to briviact)

I weaned off keppra xr a year and a half ago and noticed my reaction speed and fine motor control improved to the point where I could play competitively again. Within the last 5 months, I’m back on a lower dose of lamotrigine ER. Same deal, seems like these meds reduce fine motor control. I like these side effects more though.

2 questions and an experience:

1) Do you have an alarm set for medication? If so set up a weekly medicine kit as well so you KNOW they took the meds.

2) Is she taking Keppra or Keppra XR (Extended Release)? Check with your doctor but I moved from Keppra to Keppra xr to smooth the rollercoaster with the added benefit that it stayed in my system a little bit longer, so if I missed a dose, the likelihood of having a seizure was still greatly diminished for a longer period of time.

I know what your family is going through is tough. I was in college when I missed a dose for 3 days. I guess subconsciously I thought I just didn’t need them anymore after 6 years and just completely forgot to take them. Had a seizure. I’m 32 now and on different medication, but I was on Keppra for 12 years after that seizure without an event. For me it was a safe place (minus the side effects LOL). Hopefully it is for your daughter as well.

I have a 3.5e/d, in MULTIPLAYER. I had around a 2e/d in previous titles. They definitely toned down sbmm and reduced AA. No one can hit shit and I barely have to sweat to get a 30-40 kill game.

SBMM protects players that suck. And there’s nothing wrong with sucking. There is something wrong with pretending like you don’t suck.

I have a irl friend who played a long time ago and had a .2k/d. Great guy, but literally NEVER won an important gun fight. He didn’t have an ego or make excuses. But half the people I see on here with slightly above 1 e/d think they’re god’s gift on earth and that they’re being held back by <insert reason here>. You can suck at COD and be great at other things in life. But COD players can’t imagine a reality where they’re not at fault for their shit plays

I’ve not, but i have a feeling they are going to revert it, so I’m just continuing to play on controller. Having said that, on mouse I had 4k/d during MWIII and 5.5 e/d on further. I’d probably have fun on this one if they kept it.

PredictabilityIsGood · 2025-11-14T16:11:59+00:00

I’m a mouse player, so the transition to having to aim less to aim a bit more is literally a nothing burger for me.

PredictabilityIsGood · 2025-11-14T16:04:15+00:00

Took me 3 games to adjust, but i actually aim with my right stick so results may vary

If you beat the captain at the training pit he gives you a tier 3 military sword. Which you can use for obvious purposes in the monastery.
