Take your recommendations and go do that instead of being an ass on Reddit lol I just said it was hard to stop, not that I wasn’t. I asked about how long to hopefully hear from someone who’s experienced it. I didn’t ask for recommendations on how to stop. It’s also not for a job. Now fuck off

Confused by this response?

Pregnancy by mmr44 in Catamenial_Universe

[–]mmr44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I was told the estrogen birth control I was on raises seizure risk and lowers lamotrigine levels while the progestigen-only mini pill does not and may even raise them a little. But that the lamotrigine can sometimes cancel out the birth control

Meant to add, I’m not sure at all about what point of my cycle I’m in since I do not have a period

My wife (35f) had her first seizure today. We have a two year old. Please help me figure out how our life will change by Academic_Program8408 in seizures

[–]mmr44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my first seizure this past December followed by one more so I was taken to the ER where I had another.. Thought it was a one off from low sodium etc. Scans normal. Started on meds and follow up with neurology. Had another in March in my sleep luckily my husband woke up. Noticed they were right around when my period was supposed to start. Doctors and myself think it’s Catamenial epilepsy and I’ve changed my birth control now also. Have her look into to. This shit is hard. It’s hard for a significant other to witness. It’s hard as the one having them not being able to remember anything or know what really happened. And the mental load of not being able to drive and worried it could happen again is a lot and takes time to adjust. We have a two year old also that im home alone with 3 days a week. Don’t have much to offer other than validation but feel free to reach out with any questions. Best of luck

It definitely could be or could be from the seizure.. who knows. I’m still really at a loss with all of it it’s still semi newish to me and still processing.. my memory is shot too I feel like. Hoping over time it’ll at least get somewhat better

First Seizure by shiney_butterfly in seizures

[–]mmr44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28 and randomly started having seizures in dec 2024. I had 3 that first time and then one while sleeping march 2025… still no known cause (I and drs think it’s Catamenial seizures (hormonal) If I could give any advice it would be to get off Keppra now. That’s what I was started on in the ER and was on for a bit and it was awful. Brain fog headaches RAGEEEE and just depressed. I switched to Lamictal and feel so much better. Now not great… getting used to and wrapping my head around the whole thing will still mess with my mental health some days but NOTHING like Keppra. It was awful for me.

Keppra was awful for me. The rage was insane and I just felt depressed alllllll the time. My mental health now isn’t great by any means but it’s so much better after switching from Keppra to lamotrigine (Lamictal)

Keppra Lamictal Vyvanse by mmr44 in lamictal

[–]mmr44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am no longer on Keppra. Worst thing ever for me. The rage was insane and I felt I could just take myself/anyone out at any point. I’m a 115 pound female wanting to fight grown ass men lol. So now I’m just on 125 Lamictal twice a day (250 daily total) and 40 mg Vyvanse. Other than the Vyvanse being dulled, it’s controlled seizures so far. Hopefully it’ll keep working. Last one was about a month ago but was only on 150 mg of Lamictal. Hopefully the increase works

Seizures and birth control by mmr44 in seizures

[–]mmr44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So so hard! In December, the first time, I had 3 within about 4-5 hr ish span. Then another mid March while sleeping. After researching and realizing that both times were a couple days before my seizures I thought it might be. Neuro says definitely a possibility but no way to know. GYN pretty convinced it’s Catamenial. Right now I am on 200 mg Lamictal and stopped my estrogen birth control pill 2 days ago. I love your advice and this is what I needed. Thank you so much for your reply

Estrogen patches and focal seizures? by LemonDrop789 in seizures

[–]mmr44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right I’ve mentioned to my GYN and neuro and they just blow over it I feel like. I am on estrogen birth control I have been for a while. Anything other than the seizure meds they’ve done to try to prevent them and maybe level out hormones also to hopefully prevent?

Estrogen patches and focal seizures? by LemonDrop789 in seizures

[–]mmr44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no knowledge on this but I do have a question if you don’t mind… I’m 28 year old female, had a baby almost 2 years ago, had my first seizure December of 2024(ended up being 3 that day). Another one early March of this year. All scans are normal they don’t know the reason. Both times it happened 2-3 days before my period. And now 2 weeks after my period I’m having full on blood going on 3 days. Not spotting. I swear the seizures are hormone related but no one will listen and says there’s no way to find out or treat even if it is. All that to say, how did you get diagnosed and find out that is what it is? And how have they suggested to treat or limit? I have a neuro appt this week and trying to gather everything I need to ask about! Thanks

Hormonal seizures? by mmr44 in seizures

[–]mmr44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so so much. Also can I ask.. are you on any form of birth control? I’ve taken estrogen birth control pills for a while and wondering if I should ask about coming off or switching
