Depakote to Lamotrogine
Sun, 06/21/2015 - 21:07Hi, posted a couple of times my story and I haven't heard an advice. I was diagnosed with JME when I was 15 I tried some medications and didn't worked on me. When I was around 22 I was on Depakote and worked very well on my No seizures at all! I am now 39 and I decided to switched to Lamotrogine and it didn't controlled my jerks, dr added Clonazepam, so I'm on the conbination of the two. It has been ok no seizures or jerks, however every time I consentrating on writing, reading or computer I get jerks. Any one with the same experience? And what helps? I'm afraid to go back to work and get those jerks at work or a seizure!!

I wonder if your computer monitor might be triggering the jerks...could it be flickering/refreshing itself and causing issues after long exposure?
