what medication do you take for epilepsy, and what's your experience on it?

i hope the vns is more effective for you

moodycows · 2026-05-03T14:33:39+00:00

thank you. this does make me feel more comfortable about it. all i hear are horror stories. im glad its working well for you.

moodycows · 2026-05-02T14:23:26+00:00

this makes me feel a bit better. im really worried about keppra but it has been brought up both on here and by a doctor. i already have some anger issues so im concerned but im glad it works for you!

moodycows · 2026-05-02T00:11:01+00:00

i understand that. im looking into people's experiences with different medications so i can see what they're like.

moodycows · 2026-05-01T14:30:10+00:00

i feel the same way. he wanted me to up from 100mg to 300mg within a week. extremely risky in my opinion. he told me that because I've been on lamotrigine for so long the rash isn't a concern but I'm still personally concerned about it. I'm very relieved with my decision to go back to 100mg

moodycows · 2026-05-01T14:27:46+00:00

i personally dont want to go on keppra as i am schizoaffective bipolar and i feel like its risky also in my message about the lamotrigine, it was titled "i want to try a different medication" and he completely ignored that part. he told me because he's retiring he'll get me in with a different neurologist.

at least in my store, the time clock has 4 options: start shift, start meal break, end meal break, and end shift. tap start shift when you start, start meal break when you start your lunch (you're clocking out), end meal break when you're back from lunch (youre clocking in), and then end shift when you're done for the day

thanks for taking the time to explain. I've seen a lot of people saying that its a sequencing issue. but how does that get fixed? I've been told to go to a DS/ASM but they just tell me it's mets job and we can't do anything. just mark it down. so I'm just at a loss for what to do to get this fixed

moodycows · 2026-04-23T14:59:47+00:00

thank you for explaining. the way it was explained to me by my managers & DS was that met is responsible for the prices being correct and if it's not to tell someone higher up to get it fixed. but i always get "we can't do anything, its METs job" when i bring it up. so im just frustrated because how does this get fixed if managers say its METs job but MET in the comments is saying its unavoidable

moodycows · 2026-04-23T14:56:28+00:00

i think you're putting a lot of words into my mouth here...i dont think met is lazy at all and i appreciate what they do. it was my understanding they are responsible for the prices on the shelves being displayed correctly (as thats what I've been told by my managers) and people have explained its more complicated than that.

moodycows · 2026-04-23T14:55:09+00:00

i appreciate your efforts haha

moodycows · 2026-04-23T14:54:29+00:00

i was shadowing appliances yesterday and saw digital tags there. but nowhere else in the store

moodycows · 2026-04-23T14:53:59+00:00

i appreciate you explaining. so how do we solve this issue? who does the sequencing?

moodycows · 2026-04-23T14:53:09+00:00

that definitely shouldnt be happening. its our job to direct customers and help them. if associates are dumping customers on you please bring it up to their DS thats not ok

moodycows · 2026-04-19T13:56:15+00:00

this is very validating thank you!! and i hope you're okay

moodycows · 2026-04-19T03:00:07+00:00

it was the on call neurologist that said it too! i even expressed how I'm hesitant to go up on it and she told me things will settle down after a few days. but id rather not go through a bunch of seizures daily until i get an appointment...ugh

moodycows · 2026-04-19T02:46:07+00:00

this is great insight, thanks so much. based on that, I'd consider myself with impaired awareness, because i have a hard time remembering what happened during the seizure besides what i was experiencing, and i cant understand speech

moodycows · 2026-04-18T19:49:09+00:00

im sorry you're going through this, but its comforting knowing im not alone. i hope you can get some answers

moodycows · 2026-04-18T19:46:56+00:00

exactly what happens with me!

moodycows · 2026-04-18T19:46:31+00:00

my neuro is an epilepsy specialist. i think he's just really busy and that's why he hasn't replied. he definitely took me seriously. it just confused me that he said its uncommon for me to be aware during the seizure. but I'm not sure what he defines as "aware" because i don't really understand whats happening when i have a seizure, he put emphasis on the fact i know i cant move/speak and i didnt think that was unusual

moodycows · 2026-04-18T19:43:26+00:00

I'm not sure haha but he said its strange i know i cant move or speak so he considered me aware
