As I continue one of my longest stretches to date without a seizure, I am presented with an article from The Epilepsy Project discussing side effects of first generation and second generation drugs:

I am shocked by how many of these side effects I have experienced during my time on AEDs.
I am also curious which medication corresponds to what brand name. Might be a project for later, but it would be nice of the article had mentioned that, especially with the second generation AEDs. I recall some of them, and know, for example, that I am on Oxcarbyzapine (sp?), but I only know that because I have it filled generically (its brand name is Trileptal).
Why do medications have to be so damn confusing. As if my brain weren't addled enough already! (just kidding Mary, if you ready this!) :-)
