For Epilepsy "At first, I thought this medication was working, but slowly but surely, I realized I was having really extremely bad panic attacks out of nowhere. Then, for the first time ever, I had humongous seizures that were exactly like grand mal seizures, but I was awake, and I couldn't control my seizure. I had at least 20 back to back that I've never had before. I have extreme trembles where I feel them inside my body. It's absolutely insane. My panic attacks are continuous, and now I panic that I'm going to have a panic attack. I'm trying to stop this medicine, but it's like I'm having some type of withdrawal... maybe. I pray that this goes away. This will be my 3rd day off of it, and I cannot stop trembling."

For Seizures "I have been on Aptiom for 2 years now. The worst thing for me is it causes insomnia badly. Sometimes I don't sleep more than 2 hours a night, if that. My doctors have put me on various meds to help with this, but they only work for about a week and then they stop. I have had 2 seizures in the last month, and I hadn't had any in 13 years. This drug is a nightmare for me."

For Seizures "Been on Aptiom for about a year at a dose of 800 mg. I had 2 seizures in a year on a dose of 800 mg a day. It is very expensive, doc bumped up to 1000 mg a day now. New doc and will be leaving Aptiom."
