AED Side Effect- Watery eyes?


Hello-

Has anyone experienced watery eyes as a anti-epileptic drug side effect?

My DD, 13 began having watery eyes and some eye pain the day she started her new increase of Trileptal.

Just wondering if this is common?

Hi Blondie,

Perhaps the water eyes/pain are an allergic reaction?

Make sure the dr. knows.

I have


to agree with Cindy. If you check out rxlist.com, under Trileptal's side effects, you'll see that abnornal vision is one of them....so I would assume that would cover the watery eyes? You might want to ask your neurologist though, just to be on the safe side....

Good luck!!!
