Share experiences of perampanel?

[Zara-Newman]

I know it is a relatively new tablet, but I would like to hear people's experiences?
Side effects and such?

I think masterjen and belinda are both trying Perampanel (the generic) or Fycompa (the brand) right now. They should be able to weigh in. In the meantime, here's one of masterjen's threads about it:

It's the generic for me since that the only the I take with AEDs since I can't take generics with my epilepsy meds. Belinda5000

All of my side effects have gone away completely and I don't take the genereic.
I take name brand Fycompa.

Out of interest, what colour are the tablets?
I really hope there are some easy to get hold of white ones, I have been taking tablets with colourings in that I am allergic to for years and it literally does my head in having a 24/7 allergic reaction.

I only take name brand because the generic of any AED sen sends sends my seizures through the roof so my neuro is not going to change my script for this drug either.

 

[masterjen]

Fycompa is only available in brand name because it is so new, and they are various shades of pink or purple depending on the strength.

Don't let anyone tell you that severe itching isn't a allergic reaction.I had a doc try to tell me that with vimpat; so I went and looked it up on line and I was right the entire time and so was my neuro.

Mine is headaches and swollen sinuses.
I get it whenever I have colourings, in sweets, cakes, pills - anything really.
Not very nice, but they refuse to give me the white lamotrogine, so I have been having an allergic reaction for a solid couple of years now, can't be good for me.

and some makeup products have it aswell, if mascaras have it they give me horrendous headaches - facial makeup does, it goes red and itches.

I get the white tablets of Lamotrigine. They are 100 mg tablets.
