hi folks!
Yup to amnesia. Been on Lamotrigine for 10yrs or so for seizures. I kept havin' 'em anyway so they just upped the dosage over and over. Memory got worse and worse. I noticed a big difference with the last increase. Suddenly I'm droppin' stuff, running into walls not to mention way worse amnesia. I was just gonna quit.
I was switched (gonna be gradual) to Levetiracetam. I think they donno what they're doing. Any ideas about it?
One seizure was so bad I woke up with NO memory at all. Total erasure. Couldn't walk, never heard a bird tweet, wide-eyed and wondering what conciousness was. 2nd day I walked out to the huge blue thing outside. When I opened its door-I was amazed--->all those knobs, dials and pedals!!! WOW!! had no idea what it was(my LandCruiser) I went back inside. I was even a poet for a coupla daze till I remembered I wasn't a poet!
