hi there. iv had epilepsy for over two years now and im 20 years old. i take epilim ec200 and i take 2 in the morning an 3 at night.
i find i have uncontrollable mood swings.
my appetite is pretty much gone.
the only times i can eat without feeling like im gna throw up is when iv had some marijuana.
yes i know there are many people who dont agree with it. but for me its helps. thus why iv been seizure free for awhile now. altho im positive theres been nights asleep where i havnt had any to smoke in a few days and iv had seizures in my sleep. but once again im not overly sure. also i experience dizziness an feel rather drowsy at times aswell.
also when walking i find it hard to keep straight eg im kinda over the show.
is this a result of my medication?
i also have trouble sleeping so im on 25mgs of quetiapine a nyt to help with my sleep and to help with the amount of stress im under.
i havnt had a very good life. wont go into to much detail as people dont want to know. but iv had alot of mental abuse over the years and the things iv seen an been put through havnt helped me.
i kinda feel as if im at a crossroads right now and i just dont know what to do.
i want to get my epilepsy sorted. i want these horrible effects to go away.
does anyone have any recommendations as to what would be a better medication for me? iv talked to doctors but they dont take me seriously and think filln me up with new pills is gonna solve my problems.
hope someone replys
and thanks for reading
