A good bit of times after I've had blood drawn I'll end up with a bruise. I know other people that has that happen with too.

I'm on lamictal and I will bruise pretty easy too. I may just bump into something, not hard, but I'll end up with a bruise. If I do something that would normally cause anyone to bruise it will take a good while for the black and blue mark to go away.

Try talking to another dr and see what they have to say about it.
 
I bruise easily and so does my husband and the standing joke is I beat him.

I take Tegretol,Topamax, Clonazepam,Onfi, and Phenobarb.
 
I have bruised easily my whole life but more so now on meds. I don't know if its the lamictal or not but I hear it mist likely is. I get them under my skin as well as on top too.
 
Yes I also bruise easily, I am on Topomax, Keppra, and Vimpat I was bruising more and more I noticed with every med adjustment so the meds are definitely a factor in this I think.

I am taking extra vitamin 'c' and 'k'.
Theoretically, they work.
I have also had to start taking vitamin 'd' because I bumped something and my skin tore.
My medication is not traditional for epilepsy, but for ADHD and Aspergers, although (oddly enough) it does help with my "e" and blood pressure.
 
On Dilantin for many years and always have bruises in various stages, usually on my legs. I'm also pretty much a klutz (also from my meds?) so I'm always bumping into things.
 
been on blood thinners for the past few months all sorts of bruises
