Makes me sleep longer than I used too. It tends to make me feel "out of it", but since I only take it right before bed it doesn't matter. It has helped a lot with seizures.

This med has changed my life. Before I started taking Fycompa, I had issues. Ever since, I have been healthier than ever.

At first I was taking 8mg tabs once a day before bed and now my stomach is sensitive to everything and anything. My mornings go like this: wake up, nausea, wait 2hrs before eating due to nausea, finally eat, nausea again. It’s a never ending cycle. I hate this medicine. It may be the only one that has worked but my stomach is not liking the treatment! And I’m 27yrs old. It gets 2/10 just because it works, but the side effects are miserable.

My 14 year old son began taking this medication 11 days ago and since he has turned into a child that I do not recognize, His grades are suffering terribly, his personality is a wreck, he has no coordination and can barely stay awake in school. The neurologist says the symptoms will subside with time; praying this is true.

This drug is amazing. No seizures in a year and a half(start date). I get a bit of dizziness from time to time. I can take a bit of dizziness to be seizure free. Thanks Eisai

I found that as my blood level rose i was clumsy and dizzy. I took it 2 hours before bedtime and would have trouble speaking, and be euphoric. my insurance wasn't going to pay for it so I weaned off it too quickly and after 7 days f stopping it I had unbearable anguish that I knew was drug related. I had three sample packs all of this happened after taking it for only 5 weeks. I feel strange even now and it has been almost a month since i took my last pill. it is a very scary drug.
