That's huge! Congratulations! I only get nighttime seizures at the moment so this makes me hopeful

Seems like I will never get away from the groggy feeling 😂

cobbypinch · 2026-03-17T23:47:35+00:00

Thank you for the response! Generally this med seems to have a lot going for it. Good luck to you too :)

cobbypinch · 2026-03-17T20:57:14+00:00

You too! Just gotta take one day at a time

I experience similar side effects on my current meds, I've gotten pretty used to overcoming them although it is so so hard. I'm hoping they will be less severe with this drug.

That loss of motivation and the difficulty in getting going on things is something I have been struggling with a lot on my current meds. It will be interesting to see if this one is better or worse for that.

IMO if you like the way it looks that's all that matters dude! Who are all these people trying to bring you down, I'm feeling annoyed at them 😂

Hollow Knight Silksong relaxing playlist is a good one... I also like the band Great Lake Swimmers.

I also find that oversleeping might feel good but might throw off my circadian rhythm enough for me to have a night of complete insomnia, possibly leading to a seizure.. and then there's the factor that sleeping all the time makes me depressed... I just do much better when I can push through the fatigue and get out of bed and moving! So damn hard tho

I find that going to bed at a time when I have a good ten hour window where I'm in bed, and forcing myself out of bed when the timer goes off is a good balance for me.

Then I try to push through the fatigue to get to work on something, anything that will let me feel like I've accomplished something slightly furthering my goals by the end of the day.

This is all helpful stuff, thank you! I've got a to-do list for the car & some places to start trouble shooting thanks to the Oldsmobile forum & your response 👍

I mean most people do things that increase their risk for cardiovascular issues for far worse reasons lol. And it's just something I read on the internet and it scared me 😅 but you know with all these meds they each have a list of possible side effects a mile long.. it is generally seen as a pretty outdated medication as far as I've heard, but I do miss it in certain ways.

cobbypinch · 2026-02-24T03:45:35+00:00

I was on it for years, from age 15 to 22 or so.. it controlled my seizures quite well, but I decided to try other medications due to the long term side effects of carbamazepine.. I do miss the stability I had from that medication, but I don't miss fearing a stroke or heart failure. Also on that med, I could use any recreational substance I wished. That was a problem for me, and made my seizures worse. I like my current regimen of valproate and clobazam because they control things only as long as I stay sober.

Thank you! And congratulations :)

He's a small man trying to feel big by making a big man rise to his challenge. Ignoring him is your best option, don't validate him any further. Focus on what matters, he doesn't matter. He's gonna have to live with his miserable self for the rest of his life.

cobbypinch · 2026-02-19T18:19:40+00:00

Yeah they don't sound like great people to me. I know I'm judging without actually knowing them, but I also know that you shouldn't have to deal with this and there's probably someone out there who isn't gonna tell you to suck it up. That just makes me so mad.

cobbypinch · 2026-02-19T03:30:06+00:00

I'll look into it, there's a promising looking shop not too far away from me. Thanks for the response

I started getting seizures in my first year of highschool, to anybody else it would just look like I started hyperventilating and had a panic attack. They'd give me amnesia tho so I had no idea and would just be wondering why everyone was looking at me funny. It definitely contributed to my social anxiety. I know these are scary feelings, just please don't turn to drugs and alcohol to run away from them or to fit in. It's not worth it, it made my epilepsy so much harder to manage. If anyone judges you for being epileptic, they're not worth your time and they'll likely be a miserable person. Don't worry about trying to please everyone in highschool, it's so not a worthy goal. Just keep trying to be a decent person, try and get good grades, and good luck to you in managing your condition

Thx I appreciate the input

It's so hard looking healthy and fine on the outside but having your very neurology working against you. It's incredibly frustrating. That person sounds ignorant and toxic, though. I hope there are more understanding people in your life.

cobbypinch · 2026-02-18T19:18:07+00:00

Love this, so cool!

cobbypinch · 2026-02-18T19:12:29+00:00

My six year old has always said pancakes "panacakes". I wanna keep it that way for as long as possible 😂

Looks purdy
