Since trying the Vimpat and Lamictal, both had very bad side effects for me, I wrote down how I was doing during each time I was on the medications. I saw alot of emotional changes with each one. With the Vimpat, I was angry, frustrated, and got to a stage where I didnt care no more about anything. So I was taken off of that.
With Lamictal, besides having the bad acne, and swollen glands, which my PCP said was an allergic reaction, I had alot of emotional stress when I was on it. I was on it for 16 days and I had days where I would break down and cry for no reason. I would get mad over the stupidest little things and feel like I just wanted to walk out and not come back again.
Its been a week now since I was taken off the Lamictal, and Im now only on Keppra. 2500mgs daily.
Ive noticed a huge difference in the emotional side of me. Within 3 - 4 days of being only on Keppra, I no longer have the angry, crying outbursts, and I feel normal once again.
My dr said the emotional outbursts were due to the Keppra. Now that Im only on Keppra, its gotten better. I would think if it was the Keppra causing all the emotions, I would still be struggling with the emotions and it wouldnt be getting better.
So I just wondered if anyone here has been on Lamictal or Vimpat and saw a change in your emotions, and if you got off, did it get better?
I see my neuro on the 25th, but I want to make sure if it is due to the other medications, I point this out to him when I see him.
Thanks!
