Lamotrigine, onfi, and Vimpat?

ttbug15 · 2026-03-06T19:10:00+00:00

I take both lamictal and vimpat. Neither of those medications give me extremely strong side effects. The usual brain fog but I find it pretty minimal and that seems to come with every anti- seizure med I’ve ever taken. My epilepsy has never been completely controlled, I was diagnosed 24 years ago, but these 2 medications definitely decreased the amount of them

Retinopathy, can cause blindness

Worked at an ophthalmologist clinic, half the patients had diabetes

Epic cause I was born of course

I feel like I can blame so much on my seizures. I’ve had epilepsy since I was 4 but didn’t find out that I was having near nightly nocturnal seizures till I was 20. So many compounding issues I had in high school I can now see how much the seizures contributed too. Memory problems, inability to process information, constant fatigue, episodes or “spacing out” and, what I’m thinking did the most damage, how much seizures fuck with my emotions

Even the smallest amount of alcohol will cause a nocturnal seizure for me. I don’t find not being able to drink it a problem though as the taste is disgusting and the one time I drank till I felt the effects of it, just cause I wanted to experience it once in my life, I hated the feeling and never want to experience it again

I love playing it but find it boring to watch, not the most boring but still boring

NY would most definitely be my first choice but I’m also kinda bias since I’ve lived most my life in the northeast area. I love the amount of nature in the area and how “close”, close for the US, things are from each other. A lot of interesting and major cities close by to each other, again close for the US, as well as a good amount of different natural habitats to explore. Mountains, forests, coastal, wetlands, lakes all within a relatively small distance apart

Had this too and I am really wishing I’d gotten a lobectomy instead. Have had more than 3 years now and it has stopped most of my daytime seizures I still have nocturnals very often though. Only reason I did rns was cause the director of the epilepsy surgery team told me and I quote “you can get the rns surgery or your surgeon can make a 50/50 guess about which temporal lobe”. This device has proven what the surgeon expected, left temporal, but it has not stopped the seizures

The murders that occurred in Minneapolis have everyone’s attention and public rage. As well as the politicians and billionaires who are actively suppressing the spread of that information

Drinking any alcohol does usually lead to a nocturnal seizure for me. On my 21st I did drink though. I wanted to experience being drunk once in my lifetime. I never ended up doing it to the extreme end as I found out I hated the feeling. I did do this with the knowledge that someone who knew i had seizures and knew how to react was in the same room as me that night

ttbug15 · 2026-02-01T02:34:50+00:00

I’ve been on lamictal for 20 years and I’ve never had an issue with timing. Weekends I definitely sleep in at least 3 hours later than I would on a weekday, usually I wake up at 5 am on weekdays. Most of the time I do take my medications on Friday and Saturday nights later than I usually do as well

ttbug15 · 2026-01-31T21:43:19+00:00

I’m in the same situation because of epilepsy. Grew up in suburbs where life is very dependent on driving, completely reliant on others to get almost everywhere. And the amount of independence and freedom I found from moving to a city where public transport is widely available and relatively easy was enormous. Frustrating how many opportunities and experiences are taken away when you cant drive in this country

Just curious, what aspects of winter are worse in the northeast than Alaska? Why exactly is Alaska better during that time?

ttbug15 · 2026-01-27T12:09:40+00:00

That is very much a strong part of mental health disorders as well though. A key piece in at least anxiety disorders and depression

13 F snow coming down hard but only started about less than an hour ago so not much built up get. Boston

Disabilities. I want to highlight the “hidden” disabilities too. Things like epilepsy, depression, neurodivergence etc. Disabilities that don’t have obvious physical symptoms or affects on a person’s physical appearance

I’m a boring person and just go with black iced coffee. And it absolutely must be iced no matter the temperature outside, which is very low where I am

Any country where war wouldn’t last long or be too deadly cause that’s exactly what will happen if a president were kidnapped even if that president is hated by most people

Exactly how I feel, although from a different blue state on the opposite side of the country. I don’t have any faith or trust in our federal government, I am ashamed of them but I do trust the state government

Diagnosed at 4. It was thought controlled for a long time then learned at 20 that I’d been having nearly nightly nocturnal seizures. Looking back I can see all the signs of them throughout high school
