I've heard that use of AEDs, specifically the enzyme inducers, can cause "premature aging of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA or HTPA axis)"
This got me wondering what something like that would look like? If your HPTA axis has prematurely aged due to AED use, what would the symptoms be? What tests would show up abnormal if any?
I anyone out there has any info on this subject it would be greatly appreciated as I try to sift through my AED choices.
Thanks.
