vimpat making me angry like keppra did
I was diagnosed with epilepsy probably 3ish years ago. The first med I was prescribed was keppra. Keppra made me go insane. I totally lost myself and became so fucking angry all the time. I didn't feel like me at all.
After all that I transitioned to lamictal, and as far as my mood goes, lamictal is great for me. Unfortunately I've had many breakthrough seizures while taking it, so a while ago we added vimpat to my daily meds. I was only taking 50mg twice a day, and everything seemed fine.
Unfortunately though I'm still having seizures. So my doctor decided to up my dosage of vimpat. This week I'm taking 50mg in the morning and 100mg at night. Then next week I'll take 100mg in the morning and night.
I'm only on day 3 of taking 100mg at night, and I'm so sad and angry right now. And I'm kinda worried about next week when I have to take 200mg a day. I'm hoping that this will pass, and it's just my body adjusting to everything. I'm not trying to smash any more shit in my garage.
