Hi
I was diagnosed with gastroparesis which is like a partially paralysed stomach last week, so basically my stomach takes forever to process food. Anywho after a year of constant nausea, random vomiting, weight loss, severe belching, tiredness, just feeling out of sorts etc i got the diagnosis, the gastro guy told me to lose weight (i am quite heavy) and promptly discharged me from his service, didnt like him from the start and now i know why.
My GP is of the opinion its the trileptal that is causing it as there seems to be no other source, and i just happened to be seeing my neuro this morning and they didnt really confirm nor deny it, they lowered my morning dose by 150mg to see if that makes any difference but as i say were really noncommittal about the whole thing.
So my question is this: had anyone been diagnosed with gastroparesis because of trileptal? or any AED, my GP says because AEDS calm nerves it makes sense, i dont know, I would have had a huge problem if the neuro wanted me to come off the trileptal as it has been a dream of a med for me it really has, little to no side effects, that i am aware of anyway. SO help please if anyone has heard of this.
Good News Front, after 3 years of begging and being fobbed off with various reasons i have been okayed to drive!!!!!!!!!!! I am ecstatic, its like a Christmas miracle.
