Hi @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, I've been on that medication before and it made me so sick with nausea, headaches, blurred vision, more seizures, and shaking. That was 5 yrs ago and I still have some lingering side effects. NOT A GOOD MEDICATION!!!!!!!!!

I will be praying for you.

Are you new with trileptal ? This is The only Drug that works for me. It works, but lots of side effects. It doesn't tolerate alcohol so hello you are now sober ! Makes you dizzy on empty stomach, make sure to eat in the morning before you take it. Depending how much you take it can also get you tired and groggy, but hold on to it and try to exercise when all you feel like is sleeping. Keep me in your team and shoot me a message if you need anything ! Good luck

I'm gonna try one more dose in the morning completely after I eat. If I still do that I will not take my evening dose. I will call my doctor Monday morning.

I feel so light headed. I did eat this time with my Trileptal. My blood pressure is 136/98. It has been running high the last few days, but not that high.
