medication reaction

[kaphie]

I have been taking several types of medication through the years for my epilepsy I now take topomax and zonogran and limtical.
I have a hard time with my memory staying focused I feel like I am loosing my mind sometimes.
Has anyone else had the same side effects?

my son has seizures and has a hard time with learning do to the seizures.I don't think it has to do with the medicines he is on or has been on.

People who have seizures forget things because when they have a seizures they can't remember things that have happen or going on at the time of the seizure.Witch makes life very hard for them.

Sorry....I meant the side effects of TAKING meds are better than the side effects of STOPPING the meds.  =)Mel

I believe most seizure meds have that effect.  I have been on 3 different meds over the last 10 years--and I believe the side effects of not taking the medicines are worse than the side effects a person has from stopping meds.  So dmzllc comment about blackberry notebook, calendar, etc is good advice...sometimes we cant plan for the problems we have...so we are forced to deal with them....(But heck... my spouse has memory problems--and isnt on any seizure meds..)     =)Mel
