| 31 years and counting. Same side effects as I've always had but getting a little more frequent now as I'm getting older. It's better than seizures. I've gotten used to them and have learned to live with them ~ No probs. Randy

| Not a fan of any of the side effects. I kinda miss the way I felt last time I went off my meds. But I am aware that it was a really poor choice. and didn't enjoy just how often I found myself lying in ditches or new emergancy rooms. it is always funny when i tell people "oh and anger management issues," and see the looks on their faces. It is of course a relative thing in response to my usual demeanor, but since I am use to it. it is only an issue to me. |

| With one of the meds I did't eat at all. With another all I did was eat. After a few months of these the neurologist changed the med or the dosage ammount (don't remember which it was). I am still tired from them. I have to take my nap in the afternoon. |

That would depend on the med. I'm on 4 of them for my E. Different times for each one..... What an annoyance. But, it could be worse........

Fortunately I haven't run into the "Kepprage" just yet, maybe just a tad but I can live with it.
