I've been on Lamictal and Trileptal for about 20 years with no side effects. I went through a period of depression early on which is a possible side effect of Lamictal but so is being diagnosed with epilepsy. It went away after 6 months. I was put on an Prozac for about a month back then and my seizures increased. My neurologist told me antidepressants can lower the effectiveness of seizure medication in some people.

My seizures came back after a bad fall in October 2023, generic Keppra was added to my seizure meds about 4 weeks ago, today I'm experiencing severe leg pain which is one of the possible side effects of Keppra.

Time to try something new.
