I switched to Primidone from another medication because of the cost. It's been a game-changer financially, and it works just as well for me.
I've noticed some changes in my mood, but I think it's manageable. Just keep an eye on it and talk to your doctor if it gets worse.
I had some issues with balance and walking when I first started, but it went away after a few weeks. Stick with it if you can.
I was really nervous about the side effects, but I've only had mild nausea. Make sure to take it with food—it helps a lot.
Does anyone know if it's safe to take during pregnancy? I'm planning to start a family soon and I'm worried.
I had some crazy vivid dreams when I started. Did anyone else have that?
Be careful with alcohol. It amplifies the side effects big time.
I've been on Primidone for a few years now. It's helped control my seizures pretty well, but I've had some dizziness and fatigue. It gets better with time, so be patient.
I'm so glad I found this thread. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this. Thanks for sharing everyone.
