Lacosamide made me super light sensitive - I could look at something, close my eyes, and still see it burned into my retinas. Briviact has not affected my vision as much thankfully. Congratulations for being able to get off the meds. My seizures started with Covid. There’s a lot of brain research going on - hopefully new insights.

Welcome to our group at Mayo Clinic Connect!
I'm so sorry you went through all of that, and I'm honestly shocked by how you were treated. The fact that your neurologist told you it was "all in your head" after you clearly had severe side effects is deeply concerning, especially after not seeing you in person for 6 years. In my opinion, that's not acceptable medical care!
Have you considered looking for another neurologist? You deserve better care!
