Why is photosensitivity THE epilepsy stereotype? I know that it can cause seizures, but it's in the minority? When I tell people I have epilepsy a common reaction is to jump to photosensitivity etc (when my trigger is probably stress). But yeah, why is photosensitivity the only type of trigger in the public consciousness?
I was diagnosed with epilepsy in February and have been prescribed Lamotrigine. I finished my 12 week titration period 2 weeks ago but I'm still suffering from pretty extreme fatigue/exhaustion, and irregular bouts of dizziness and headaches. When I picked up my meds a couple of weeks ago (at the end of the titration), they were a different brand to what I'd been taking prior, so that could be a reason. Am I going to just live with these side effects or are they likely to go away?
