Does anyone else that has seizures ever feel like you just don’t belong or randomly apologize for having epilepsy?
Yes
Yep, welcome to the club 😂
Absolutely!
Briviact also causes memory issues and word finding difficulties in myself. But a lot worse was lamotrigine.
I'm using Lamotrigine since 23 years, and yeah, i've had troubles at school for learning. In 2018 they've added Topamax, it was even worse. i was suicidal. The moment when i finally started talking about it, apparently Topamax causes depression and suicidal thoughts. It's insane
Lol and I just asked my parents to switch me from keppra to brivaracetam
You’re a good man doing these videos, you help a lot of people so thank you dr it’s very much appreciated. Happy new year. 🥳💜
Thank you and happy new year to you too
I was given Topamax after I began to have seizures--I could not take the medication and function. I think the neurologist did this deliberately as he thought I had "PNES" and wanted to teach me a lesson. I started doctor shopping and now have an epilepsy diagnosis after a hospital stay.
I take 100mg of topamax daily.. I have terrible memory loss and struggle to find my words. I don’t like this medication, I have been on this over 6 months and yet to find it affective 😔
You have a right to say no or look for another opinion/diagnosis
I was on the same dose, been on it since March 2023. Just decreased to 50mg combined with lamictal. Genuinely terrified since topamax stopped my seizures but I feel like ive slowly lost myself because of it. I think at this point I'd rather have another seizure and go back to the drawing board than to put up with this.
I use Zonisamide and I’ve been having memory issues for a while but when I mentioned that to my doctors they never told me this.
What is your take on Keppra? I've been on it quite some time & my eyesight as well as memory have both gone way downhill
There is a whole video on Keppra
Is carbamazolpin good for a child has artonic seizure
I have had epilepsy for forty years and now take a cocktail of three anticonvulsants ( two of them you mentioned which are Clobazam and zonisamide plus an antipsychotic drug generic form for Invega. My memory has become forgetful as also has been my slowed down my thinking and speech. I also take the generic form of Vimpat. I started with phenobarbital and may have taken Topamax ( unsure).
Ok. why are they prescribed to patients!!
On zamoside lomacal carbamazepine just started taking briviact as well nice combo huh. Well adding briviact has worsen concentration increased tiredness changed sleeping habits & worsen ptsd
Topimax almost took my life, and destroyed my kidneys. But there are way more meds than this listed, like keppra the rage drug has been hard but its better than topimax or topiraimate depending on the prescription. But topimax was the scariest of them all.
keppra is rly the rage drug i was out of control wen i was on it
I’ve been on all of them and the worst were zonisamide and Toppamax. On Zonisamide I felt like a depressed zombie that couldn’t sleep with night sweats and on Toppamax, my seizures tripled in three months and I almost became anorexic because I never wanted to eat.
these memory problem are reversible aur irreversible
That why I be forgetting so much when I be using zonisamide😅💊 for my epilepsy sezuire I appreciate you so much for make understand my condition more Dr.Omar🧑⚕️💯
Might explain my memory, im on clobazam, zonisamide and perampenal which together seem togive me an interesting memory but hey... beter than seizures!
What about lamotrigine?
They all can, personally I feel like my memory improves with lamictal due to its mood stabilizing effects. It takes me out of fight or flight mode, I just had an increase and it effected my speech and sleep more than anything else.
I had epilepsy many years ago and I don't have any seizures for many years. So is there any difference in my brain even though I didn't have any seizures in the past few years. please tell me asap
I’ve taken them all. They all have substantial side effects (like dizziness, sleepiness, irritability, memory impairment, speech impairment, coordination issues). Most of these side effects subside or lessen with time. Fycompa made me feel very depressed and Vimpat gave me terrible palpitations.
Hey dr.omar can I take glb-1 agonist with my daily medication....ur video gives me all information what I was finding about.... thanks ❤️ from India 🇮🇳
Please please dear dr can you plese replay to my question. I have reaöly hard memory loss. Cant even remember my childhood. My weeding which was 5 years ago. I can't even remember that i went to places with friends. I took keppra dor 4 years and due to memory problems i changed to lamatogrin and the problem remains
My question and worey is will these memory problems remain permanent. Has those medicines destroyed my memory???????? Please help me.
Hi, my husband has similar problem with you, it’s been 4 months now. Do you still have memory issues until now? My husband sometimes doesn’t even remember that he is sick 😢
I think all of them do that, they slow down the brain electricity. 😢

Yes all antiseizures blocks the glutamate neurotransmisors which are important in exitation but too in Cognition.
Keppra has issues with not lasting long before I get a seizure, every 2 years I get one, Keppra is weak no matter how many times I up it

how to withdrawal topaz 100mg
how to decrease in topaz 50mg
Is keppra dangerous for 1 years and older ?
I take 4xCarbamazepine 200 mg, just a quick question, would that be high for an 21 71 kg adult like me? I've been getting lots of issues with expressing myself and getting words out and i've been feeling drowsy , sometimes a bit confused or unaware after i take my dose of 1/2 depakine chrono + carbamazepine
Dr. my son is eight months old he was prescribed clobazam 2.5 ML twice a day 0.3. He’s been in for one month is this a good option for him? Or can I come to Michigan and see you please get back to me and let me know if you can see my son I will bring him to Michigan. God bless you brother.
Unfortunately, I am an adult neurologist and I don't see children. I recommend you see an Epilepsy center for full evaluation
Cenobemate too
What is the best anti seizure medicine that does not have this side effect?
Carbamazepine

Hi Dr. am on topiramate 25mg twice daily which is causing brain fog. Can topiramate go with vitamin B12?
Yes they can be combined. Ask your neurologist
My 9 year old daughter had possible seizures first time 4 months back. Tests like CT scan and EEG test showed nothing. But her Dr. Has prescribed Syrup Sodium valproate 10ml twice for 2 years. It has been 4 months without anything. But I'm worried if it really was epilepsy or he just feel and fainted and side effects of the medicine. Should I continue the medicine?

Hi!
Seizures can be cause by low glucose problems and not necessary be an Epileptic Condition.
Important to Look for more information.

Thanks for replying, I don't have epilepsy ( as far as I know) but been given gabapentin for a few years for chronic nerve pain, and I feel like it's affected my memory

Topomax is literally ruining my life, why would my dr keep me on it if it isn’t even working? They just prescribed xcopri, but it hasn’t come in yet, but I’m supposed to take both. I think I’m going to call and ask to be taken off of topomax today. I feel like the dumbest person in a group of people. I don’t like to tell stories anymore because I lose my train of thought and can’t speak without stuttering. Everyone gets frustrated with me and I feel useless. I use to be smart. I have a bachelors degree in graphic design that I can’t even use because I don’t remember half of what I learned. I call out of work all the time and everything falls on my husband. Im sick of crying every day.
Hi, sorry to ask, did you have short term memory loss?
Wishing you get healthier each day 🙏🏻
