Hi there
I haven't visited the forum in 4 years and thought that maybe it's time to say hello. I was diagnosed with epilepsy 16 years ago and am currently taking Lamictal. I had an appointment with my neurologist last week and she suggested that add Clobazam to my day as I have been experiencing myoclonic jerks.
Does anyone experience these? They started off a few years ago and were not very frequent. I experience them daily now..more so when I am tired. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really scared to add another medication to my life and don't know what to expect. I mean, I would love to not have these jerks anymore, but the idea of having to be on another medication makes me nervous, and actually quite sad. I'm having a really tough time coping with it all (which is weird since I've known about my epilepsy since I was 16! Talk about denial!).
What do you guys think?
