Hi Ron and welcome to the group....It could also be the type of seizure you are having or have. I have
nocturnal/sleep seizures which can happen during the day as well should I fall asleep. Think sometimes I am
like that too as get a subconscious thought in my mind that 'afraid to go to sleep in case have one?' Just the
opposite I NEED sleep as it is also a trigger for seizures should you not get enough.
Good question though and maybe can ask your doctor next time you see him. Or even ask your pharmacist if the
meds are doing this to you.
Everybody's body and everyone's seizures are different though can be the same and what you take I could take
and we could have same seizure type and have opposite results.
Ask your family doc, neurologist, or pharmacist ..... or even go on www.medlineplus.
check and see side effects of the drug.
Good luck and try sleep well tonight

Subject: [epilepsy] sleep trouble
I have a terrible time getting to sleep at night even without any caffeine during the day. I am on lamictal
(Lamotrigine- generic lamictal) 150 mg twice a day and Gabapentin 600 mg at night and I can not get to
sleep. I have tried Melatonin and this doesn't help either.
Are my meds preventing me? Please HELP.
thanks- Ron
