Hi. My mum has grand mal seizures that only happen when she is asleep. She has only had 6 in her life but 4 have been in the last 13 months. She has just been put on lamotrigine (lamictal) and she has started off at 50mg per day. She took her first one yesterday afternoon and was a bit dizzy in the afternoon and evening and also very tired quite early. Last night she kept waking every hour and now has a headache. She doesn't cope well with headaches and no sleep (she also suffers from depression) so if these effects continue she will probably stop the meds. Does anyone know if these side effects will clear up or have any tips on how they can be reduced? I am so worried about her that I cant sleep myself. Please help me
