I have drowsiness and dizziness, among other things that goes on every day. Could this be medicine related? I'm not sure because these are tHe after symptoms of my seizures too.
 
Most of the AEDs cause drowsiness, since they are "sedatives" in a way. Lamictal made me hyper and gave me insomnia at first, but now it tends to make me sleepy. It also makes me dizzy, so it might be one of the meds causing that for you.
 
Is it a new drug or new dose? Mine always take about 2 weeks before that starts to go away.
 
My dosages are in my profile and they are pretty high... so I sure hope it is the medication. But I'm still having seizures.
