Is your drowsiness gone after the switch to lacosamide?
When I was very active on epilepsy forums, the two main complaints regarding meds were drowsiness and balance issues In fact, I don’t remember anyone who didn’t have one or both of those symptoms. Of course not all the meds available today were available then. I believe only about a third of the people taking lacosamide have drowsiness so hopefully you’re in that bunch.
Stay alert,
Jake

I do not have drowsiness with the Lacosamide; however there is a balance issue so I am very careful with that. One other issue is upon turning too swiftly I sometimes think I am seeing shadows. (As if something is dashing by) Sounds a little nuts but it is the med.
