Side Effects On Certain Food With Your Medicines

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Tampa, FL

Has anyone had side effects with certain foods, with your medications. Cause ever since I started taken lamitical I cant eat any of the spanish beans I used eat. Which is weird. It used to be fine when I ate spanish beans with rice but ever since I started taken lamitical for my seizures is that a side effect or no?

I took lamictal a while back.. Don't recall effect! The main ones I know to avoid are caffeine, aspartame and alcohol! All are known to cause seizures!

Oh wow Im sorry to hear that JenniferTravis. So far it has been helping on and off. All the meds I am on are helping on and off. I mean my seizures are not controlled but what else can I do I wish there was a cure for our battel but we all know there is not which sucks.
