Concentration disorders effect of Lamictal

Daughter gets Lamictal for 2.5 years, approx. 5 seizures per year, 125 – 0-75. If the tablets are turned on in the evening, no one can fall asleep before 1 o’clock at the earliest. Do not get out of bed in the morning, constantly tired, the 6th and 7th school lesson pass by pretty much. Grade average has dropped from 1.8 to 3.3 in 6 months, has to work hard to keep that at least. Memory and concentration greatly reduced: 150% work for 80% result! If she does not sleep at least 1.5 hours after school, she can not even do her homework. Will be switched to another drug in April.

Depakine: It was awful! Weight gain (about 10 – 15 kilos), permanent fatigue (!!), could not get up, Could not express me linguistically – words omitted me, could not articulate me more. Could not learn anymore, did not notice anything anymore (big concentration difficulties), grades were bad, I was getting worse and worse with these things. almost slept and ate more (after the increase ..) The doctor said that it was not because of the medication, but because I had started to study and everything was new to me …. schmafu …. well, then a doctor change! private doctor. Switching to Lamictal – I was suddenly much better, first exam on the uni, note 2, totally great. weight loss, concentration improved again – now I’m really good !!! I can only say: trust your body and do not trust your doctor. I’ve always thought (when I was still small na, they already know what they are doing … that’s not true ….. – long process of cognition =) ok, then good luck people
