@santosha also how do you feel on lamictal I saw you were taking it. I have dizziness and get nauseous.
I can only take a low dose. Not sure if you saw my comment about the book on being vegan.

I tried Lamictal for 4 months and had to stop it because of strong insomnia I had with it. This was the first AED I tried after my epilepsy diagnosis in 2019. It did not have many side effects, but staying without sleep was driving me crazy!!!! My doctor at that time gave me medication to sleep, which helped just a bit and brought other bad side effects. I did not feel dizzy and get nauseous with Lamictal. I had this side-effect with Vimpat, having trouble eating and losing a lot of weight!
