Does anyone else that has seizures ever feel like you just don’t belong or randomly apologize for having epilepsy?

[mariah.]

Briviact also causes memory issues and word finding difficulties in myself. But a lot worse was lamotrigine.

[astromania]

[hajermohamad]

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 Please help me.

[cd-rom]

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.

[Amysmith-jthl]

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 😔

[kimk]

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

[daveicc]

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).

[virginiaheckman]

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.

[vonkatheviking]

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.

[mrnull]

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

[meganlovesresearch]

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.

[marthatsehaye]

Ok. why are they prescribed to patients!!

[anjumanrana]

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

[babyscarr]

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🧑‍⚕️💯

[jamesward]

Might explain my memory, im on clobazam, zonisamide and perampenal which together seem togive me an interesting memory but hey... beter than seizures!

[Agrawalhere]

these memory problem are reversible aur irreversible

[jasonlovern]

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.

[kubrataj]

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 🇮🇳

[nemesisstars]

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
