I am not familiar with many of the medications associated with Epilepsy and I'm interested if others suffer the same side effects that I do. I have been on 350 mg's of Dilantin daily for 3 years but... I recently had a grand mal because I hadnt been fully compliant with my medication and my therapetic blood range was very very low. My medication has been increased to 450 mg's and I have noticed that I am experiencing many of the side effects. They include...
- feeling overly tired
- increased hair growth (my back and shoulders included)
- eye twiching
- swelling of my gums
- memory problems
I have an appointment to see a neurologist in a few weeks and I am considering experimenting with another epilepsy medication. Most of these side effects I can deal with but I don't want to have to deal with them if there is another option.
