[epilepsy] 1st time for Greg

 

Hello everyone,
I've been directed to this website by a friend who has epilepsy. He said this support group has been there whenever he's needed answers to various questions and was looking for any degree of support. This disorder is relatively new to me as I had my first seizure on 12/27/09. My neurologist has put me on Lamictal. Since then, I seem to have no problem sleeping 9-10 hours a night. Is this a side effect of this medication? Is this new disorder draining the energy out of me to the point that my body requires this much rest? I contine to work my full time job in the food service business. This requires 45-50 hours per week. I also notice I yawn a lot more throughout the day even though I don't necessarily feel any more tired than before the seizure. Also, people have told me beware, this medication has a negative effect on teeth and gums. These are the things that I've been wondering about for the past six weeks or so...any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for being there, fellow-epileptians.
