I got all those problems but the higher the dosage the more attacks i had.Another neurologist think that i just have pseudoseizures-paranoia attacks.Anyways the doctor screwed me up,he gave me 5 years ago something different and my seizures started daily than switched me to lamictal.I must say that sometimes i have or HAD electricity in my left hand all the time and once a women touched me and got stunned lol.anyways lamictal is bad,i didn't have any side effects like loosing hair but i did have A LOT of head hecks.I must share something with you,when i read epilepsy.com it seems that my seizures called myclonics in the end they are not but they similar in effects.Myclonics its seizures that happens only in the morning.Heres the catch for me,i figured out that if i won't close my eyes the first hour after i got up and went to the sun outside than i didn't have seizures.Its not a real solution so i decided to raise the lamictal from 175 which was ok for me to 200-250 like the good doctor said,just made me worse.Now i started dropping it by 25 mill each week and i must say i feel better only a little tired after 5 years that my body got used to it.Anyway if any of you have myclonics than don't close your eyes.BTW i have AURA-feeling before the seizure but luckily for me after a second if i open my eyes nothing will happen although i don't always take notice of it.In midway it would happen if i seat in front of computer and will lose attention if someone will call me or whatever but its a mill-sec seizure,barely noticible if at all and i never get "disconnected" from reality!!!
the ONLY thing which is bad for me is that except that im sick now my blood pressure is huge-140/82 and pulse 106 which is being like that for couple of days but i will get trough that.Since i lowered my dosage my midway seizures stopped,now im on 100.
P.S=Check yourself with the neurologist with a different one preheps.IF you can describe the whole seizure it means you don't dispatch from earth which mean it might be psydo seizures which are psychotic and not epileptic,the most important thing is that if someone takes lamictal or any anti apileptic drug even tho he doesn't have real seizures the medicine can do this.I got screwed and now i try to get over it,the doctor trowed me on woods with tablets after having a first seizure WHICH IS WRONG because you sepused to get tablets only after 3 attacks and after describing seizures and doing eeg tests to make sure that you DO have the problem.
Anyways remember what i said about the closing eyes in the morning part,if you close your eyes and feel weird keep them open at least those that have them after they wake up,that was a solution for me and it can help you to...MY doctor said everyone like me but i think he is laying,the other neurologist said my doctor was wrong probably about the seizures,i think i have both but i do know that believing and saying that you don't have anything WILL help you and lower your seizures,after speaking with the doctor i actually started to believe i don't have anything and walla i have almost NADA,today i had zero!!!! :D
OF course don't lower dosage without first consulting with someone expert,but since i know i can control basically every seizure i have and i know what to do to avoid it i let my self start dropping dozes!!!
GOOD LUCK my friends believe in yourself and if you want some personal info leave your msn i will add you and try to answer you the best i could,i was researching my self trying to figure out the core of the problem for 5 years but after 6 months knocking my head in the pipe when i washed my face i learned what i should avoid to minimize the chance!!!Try that

I switched from celexa to wellbutrin...celexa made me gain 40lbs!!! Losing weight was so hard and for me thats unusual...My doctor thought if that was my concern i should try wellbutrin. I have only been on Wellbutrin for 4 days. Im spacey and moody and energetic. But at the same time I want to sleep. Its weird. Do these side effects go away? I hate feeling the first two. Also-very weird...I know you arent supposed to drink on it but I figured what the heck...so I went out with some friends. I drank seven drinks in the course of like 6 hours and did not feel anything but a remote buzz. Very strange. Usually that would get me drunk. What a waste of alcohol and money! :>

the only side effect I noticed from prednisone was amazingly enhanced alertness... I was prescribed a gradually declining dose over a 10-day period for an acute lung condition. the lungs improved completely for a short duration (5-6 weeks), but the level of alertness I felt was unlike anything I had ever felt in my life; it was a zen-calm-like alertness, not a caffeinated-buzz-like alertness, and it truly felt like this is the way we humans ought to feel all the time; I sorely miss that experience!

i can't sleep, have lost my appetite and find the constricted
blood flow has at least a small impact on my sex life (i am a male). the narcotic buzz is constant and seems kinda speedy.
it does drain your sinus...i'm gonna go off it as soon as the anti biotic that i'm also taking has kicked in enough.

I was prescribed this drug for an upper respiratory infection...in its early stages. The first day I took it, it just about knocked out the infection so that was good. It kind of kept me awake at night but it wasn't an uncomfortable alertness. The one thing it did was to cause my limbs to go numb...like when you lay wrong on your arm and it goes to sleep. First my right arm then my left and then my left leg. Very wierd. It also made me very dizzy for a couple of hours after taking it. Like a buzz. Other than that it hasn't been too bad. I think I'll stop taking it anyway now.

I just started taking Lyrica 75 mg. last night and 1 this morning for "idiopathic burning feet syndrome". I've have rheumatoid arthritis for 35 years and essential tremor for 27 years. This drug reduces the tremor and I now have a wonderful buzz. I'm wondering how and why is this drug giving me a buzz. I feel as if I've had a "shooter". Carolyn J.
