You're not alone. Managing epilepsy goes beyond seizures. Let's talk honestly about the side effects of medication and find ways to cope and thrive. Support & understanding are key.

Certain epilepsy medications can indeed cause side effects:

1. Hair Loss: Some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to thinning hair or hair loss. This is often temporary and hair growth may resume after adjusting the medication or dosage.

2. Memory Loss: Cognitive side effects, including memory problems, are a known issue with some AEDs. This can manifest as difficulty recalling recent events, trouble concentrating, or slowed thinking. The severity of memory loss can vary depending on the specific medication and dosage.

3. Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or experiencing persistent fatigue is a common side effect of many AEDs. This can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
