I was prescribed Lacosamide 100mg tablets for my epilepsy, and I've been taking them for a few months now. I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication. What side effects have you experienced? Are there any tips or tricks for managing them? I've noticed some dizziness and drowsiness, which can be challenging, but overall, I think the medication is helping. I'm also a bit worried about the more serious side effects listed. Has anyone else had any concerns or issues with this medication? Let's share our experiences and support each other.

I get the double vision side effect, which is scary, but it usually goes away if I rest for a bit and drink some water. It's really helped control of the seizures.

My neurologist warned me about the potential for suicidal thoughts. It's scary, but I think it's important to be aware of. If anyone feels that, please get help right away.

I wish I could say the same. I've had to stop taking it because of severe dizziness and drowsiness. It was affecting my work and daily activities.

I had a rash a few weeks into taking Lacosamide. My doctor had me stop taking it immediately, and the rash went away. Tried one of the older meds again and it's working okay.

I've had a similar experience. My psychiatrist put me on a low dose of an anti-anxiety medication, and it's helped a lot. You should talk to your doctor about it.

I've had some weird burning sensations in my feet, but my doctor said it's a rare side effect and to keep an eye on it. So far, it's been manageable. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I've been taking Lacosamide for only a few weeks, and so far, so good! No major side effects, and I haven't had any seizures since starting it. Fingers crossed it continues to work!

I've been on this medication for a while and it's been working well for me. But I did have to go to the hospital with a fast heartbeat. It's scary stuff. Everyone keep safe.
