Hi CR I used to have severe depression and my psyche dr gave me lamictal which was used to treat epilepsy. The doctors noticed that the patients with epilepsy felt really good on lamictal so they decided to use it as an anti depressant for those like me who had bad feelings with depression.
When I look back, most of my depression was caused by bad experiences, negative thinking that I still pull myself out of now and again, lack of exercise, lying in bed feeling hopeless! It can seem impossible to get out of all that and I still lie in bed on cold days or if I get fatigue. I time how long I am in bed though and try to limit it if I can.
I used to take it for some ms symptom. The neuro I had seen was a epilepsy specialist. I did not have epilepsy I think I took it for 2 months.
@A MyMSTeam Member I've never had seizures or used that medicine so I'm not much help for you. Hopefully you went to your doctor or informed them about what happened. They need to know sooner than later. Hope your night is peaceful and restful.
I have never had seizures with my MS. I definitely suggest you take to your neurologist before taking another dose.
That must be frightening but I know you can get through this. You’re stronger than you think.
That sounds really frightening, and it's completely understandable to feel unsettled not remembering what happened. A MyMSTeam member shared a similar experience, mentioning they were on levetiracetam after having multiple seizures in a row — so you're definitely not alone in this.
