Hi, I was diagnosed after an mri with scar tissue on my temporal lobe. apparently I ve had partial temporal lobe seizures my whole life and didn t know they were seizures. Because of the deja vu feeling and panicky feelings I thought they were anxiety attacks. Im now taking Lamotrogine to stop the seizures but I m finding I get real emotional (teary) at the slightest thing. also I m getting angry at things that would not normally bother me. Could this be a side effect of the medication? I m also a femal and 50yrs old... my friends say it part of menopause.
