i'm on Epilim, Lamictil and Vimpat and since all of these have been increased I've been having dreams that i wake up and vividly remember (most of it)
I did have one where i was pulling an arrow out of my stomach and woke just in time to see/feel that i'd pulled out my insulin pump.
i dont think i have seizures in my sleep as i wake up feeling fine (i wake with a headache and sore all over if i have a seizure then) and my week long EEG and sleep EEG showed nothing)
Does anyone else have this problem? (my mum was just curious to see if it was just me)
 
im on keppra and when i first started taking mine I had weird but random dreams, I cant remember most of them but i can remember they were weird
 
Lamictal is especially known for causing vivid dreams. I had them at first, along with very restless sleep, but as my body adjusted the dreams went went away and my sleep got better.
 
I have VERY vivid dreams that I can recall up to days afterwards. I also have nocturnal seizures, but the two don't match...if I have a vivid dream, I don't always have a seizure. No more arrows for you!
 
I'm on Epilim and a known side effect is strange vivid dreams. I frequently experience very strange (although not necessarily scary) and funny dreams so much that i've often thought I could write a book about them.
 
Epilex (sod valporate) does wonders with the brain- my experience shows this! I too have weird dreams and u may call them vivid.
 
I am on Lamotrigine and 100mg per day. Since the very start of taking this med i have been having very very vivid dreams.

I never used to remember my dreams and now they are so vivid i wake up and remember very intricate details of my dreams on most nights.

I guess i have just learnt to deal with it as an unwanted side but i have not had a seizure thus far so pros defo outweigh the cons.
 
I am on Epilim and Keppra and have vivid dreams. Not strange dreams just ones I can clearly remember in the morning which is not something I've ever been able to do for the most part. I mostly dream about stuff that I wished had happened that day, or stuff I plan or wish to do the next day.
 
My auras have always been really strange dreams that I only ever remember when I am about to have a seizure.
I have had epitiologists ask me to explain my strange dream I have during an aura & it was hard because I don't remember, all I could remember was it may have involved going somewhere.

Most of my seizures are in the day time but I think I sometimes take the odd aura & partial seizure in my sleep because sometimes I would wake up with a headache & find things in my place in spots where they weren't the night before.
The night auras only happened after I had a medication change (either Topamax or Keppra).
