JME and Sodium Valproate Zentiva
Mon, 06/01/2015 - 18:47I had trouble controlling my JME, I went through two medications which didn't work one of them was Keppra which actually worsend my JME... The medication I'm on now is going well but from a young age about 11 I've had trouble with sleep because I'm so scared to fall asleep I'm always scared something is going to appear and I always hear voices. I was told it was to do with my epielspy and that my new medication will put it right but I don't believe that! No one in my family understand what I'm going through and how scared I am to sleep sometimes I end up in tears before sleeping, it sounds so stupid!! I want to see someone about it but everyone thinks it's pointless? Do you guys think my medication will put my sleep problems right? Or do I need another option?!
