I recently started taking Fycompa 2mg Tablets for my epilepsy, and I've had a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. I'm taking it once a day as prescribed, usually at bedtime. I wanted to start this thread to share my journey and hear from others who might be on the same medication. How has Fycompa worked for you? What side effects have you experienced, and how did you manage them? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any long-term effects or if anyone has switched to a different medication. Also, if anyone has any tips for managing the side effects, please share!

I've had a really tough time with this medication. I gained a lot of weight and started having trouble breathing. Doctor says it's not common, but it's been really hard on me. Anyone else have similar issues?

Let's all go down to Vitos!

Dizziness and fatigue are definitely the worst for me, but at least I've seen a huge improvement in my seizures. It’s a trade-off, but worth it for the seizure control. I also take it with some food to help with the stomach ache, and that has helped a lot.

I think Fycompa is one of the best medications out there for epilepsy. It's taken the edge off my seizures, and I haven't experienced any of the severe side effects listed. It's not perfect, but it's been a game-changer for me.
