I've been prescribed Lacosamide 150mg Tablets for my partial-onset seizures and I'm curious to hear from others who have experience with this medication. I've noticed some dizziness and drowsiness, but nothing too severe. However, I'm a bit concerned about the potential side effects, especially the more serious ones. Has anyone else experienced anything unusual? I'd love to know how others are managing. Additionally, I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to deal with the more common side effects like fatigue and blurred vision. Looking forward to discussing this with everyone!

I wish I could stop taking Lacosamide. I had double vision and it was really bad. I felt like I was seeing two or three of my doctor when I was at the clinic. I'm not sure how to get over it.

I've been experiencing some memory issues, which is really frustrating. It's like I can't remember things I did a few hours ago. I'm going to talk to my doctor about this soon.

I've been on this medication for a year and I haven't had any significant side effects. It's been a game-changer for me. I used to have seizures almost daily, but now they're much less frequent. It's worth the occasional dizziness for me.

It seems like everyone's experience is different. My doctor didn't mention some of these side effects, but now I know to keep an eye out for them. Always good to be informed and stay aware.

I've had suicidal thoughts before starting any medication. I feel like I'm not the only one. It's important to talk to a doctor if you feel that way not to ignore it.

I've been on Lacosamide for a few months now, and I agree that the dizziness can be a bit unsettling at first, but it does seem to get better over time.

I had a really bad reaction to Lacosamide. I woke up one morning with a swollen tongue and couldn't breathe properly. I had to go to the ER right away. It was terrifying.

Has anyone had issues with suicidal thoughts? I know it's a rare side effect, but it's still scary to think about. I'm glad I haven't had that, but it's something to be aware of.

That sounds awful. I've had a much smoother experience. I did get a rash at the beginning, but my doctor adjusted the dosage and it went away. I think it's important to monitor your body closely when you start a new med.
