If you or a loved one is taking Vigabatrin, share your experiences and let's discuss what we should keep in mind.

I know this might sound crazy, but Vigabatrin has changed my life. I used to have seizures multiple times a day, and now it's down to almost none. Just be aware of the risks and work closely with your doctor.

I've been on Vigabatrin for a few months now, and it's been a lifesaver. My seizures have reduced significantly, but I did experience some dizziness and fatigue initially. It's important to stay in close contact with your doctor to monitor any side effects.

I think the benefits outweigh the risks for most people. Vigabatrin has been a last resort for many, and it's worked wonders for those who haven't responded to other treatments. Just be aware of the potential side effects and stay vigilant.

Be careful, Vigabatrin can cause some serious side effects. I've heard of people experiencing severe allergic reactions and even suicidal thoughts. It's not something to take lightly.

Anyone else feel like they’re just constantly dizzy and tired? I can’t even walk straight sometimes.

Has anyone experienced vision problems while on Vigabatrin? I've read that it can cause permanent damage to your eyes if not monitored properly.

I've been on it for 5 years now for my daughter. The side effects were a bit of a shock, especially the vision issues, but under a regular eye doctor monitoring, it's been manageable. Consult your doctor regularly and keep check-ups
