Hi all. today is my second day on trileptal, 300mg a day for 2 weeks and then 600 a day.
its only after my 4th dose and i have a few small spots/zits/pimples around my mouth and chin, about 5, i just read that acne can be a side effect. thing is is that i have never had spots ever, not even in my teens, i get one maybe once a year around my eyebrow area but thats it. but im thinking its too early for something like this side effect wise.
Also im very angry today, dont know why, could just be the day, i really want this drug to work but i will not stand for acne, im too old to be getting spots.
Im coming off keppra also, down to 1000mg a day from 1500mg, could this be it?
i really dont want acne, but if it will pass i'll put up with it, i dont want to annoy my gp or epilepsy nurse with every little thing.
