Common Questions and Answers about Seizure medications lyrica
seizure
ve had seizures in the past, and had another tonic clonic recently so my doctor upped my Lyrica (which was prescribed after the MS diagnosis) to seizure-control levels. I (honestly) thought I was doing great. The Lyrica was (in my opinion) helping me feel better, so I thought I was on the right combination of medications. Two days ago, after I had showered and washed my hair, I realized that I had patches of missing hair on my head.
An NSAID is good for inflammation, Anti-Seizure (like Lyrica, Neurontin or Topamax) medications are good for nerve pain. If Lyrica made your fiance too drowsy, Topamax might be a better alternative. This is what I take instead. It's in the same class, but has different side effects. Many people do not get as drowsy. Muscle relaxers can help too.
Everyone's cocktail is different, because everyone's reacts differently to medications.
I have had FM for years now. They had me on some much ****. I even tried the Lyrica. I take no medications. All I am willing to take are vitamins. My sensitivity levels can not have the side effects of any medications.
I am sure you will be fine then. You'll just have to wait it out. The withdrawal symptoms will go away eventually. Is he offering you an alternative medication instead? Perhaps Lyrica would be a better option for you since Savella didn't work out? Lyrica is also approved to treat Fibromyalgia and it's also an anti-seizure medication.
In June 2007, the FDA approved Lyrica as a treatment for Fibromyalgia. It was initially used/designed for seizure disorders - but like many medications physicians began using it off-label for other conditions. It is now widely used to treat (nerve) pain. It is the only medication that controls my neuropathic pain.
All medications, including Aspirin - come with side effects. One of Lyrica's side effects is weight gain. Yup - I've gained 17lbs in a year.
Will swelling and itching go away by continuing to take Lyrica. I started in my hands and feet. I have been taking it a month and the symptoms are daily but are mild and seem less and less. Today, it is only swelling on the top of my ear with slight itching. Should it continue taking it, because i heard that discontinuing could cause a seizure.
Part of this I believe also is because the nurse saw (what we have been thinking is just dizzy spells) her have what she said looked to be an absence seizure. Lindz was up to use the restroom and suddenly got dizzy - grabbed me and didn't respond for a few seconds - that's what she's been doing for about 5 weeks - anyway the nurse immediately came to her and pinched her fingers and arms, turned around and Lindz answered "what?" She has no memory of that at all.
I have stage 4 Ovarian. There are medications like Lyrica for Neuropathy. There are also anti seizure drugs such as Neurotin which are used for nerve pain.
oms-gabapentin 300 mg was prescibed to my mom for nerve pain and its a seizure medication? Any explinations she isnt epaleptic?
Hello,
I've had a fairly positive experience with all anti-seizure medications I've tried reducing pain in regards to my Fibromyalgia. I think the reason comes with my belief that there is a malfunction in the central nervous system for some reason. At this time we don't know what the cause is- many new scientists believe it may be neuro-immune.
Anyhow, I've responded very well to medications like Neurontin, Lyrica and Topamax.
it is an anti-seizure drug....all drugs have interactions...i do know that lyrica is way more dangerous in the terms of side effects....and some do get euphoric from using it...i dont...i am "trying" it for the last few days and my fingers and toes are tingling and i am in a fog...my doc says i will adjust...i never had this with nuerontin....sleepy stuff till i acclimated to it...but not all of this loopy stuff i have with thelyrica...evryone reacts differently tho...
