Has anyone ever had to increase doe on trileptal and felt dizzy and low energy
I tried it for awhile and it did more damage than good
It is just easy for them to increase dosage so they did. I quickly noticed that even though I walk 4+ miles a day/7 days per weeks, I started having problems walking a straight line. I cut the morning dosage is half, never telling them, and the problem away.
I took 300 mg twice a day after getting diagnosed and was still having seizures about once a week. My doctor doubled the dose to 600mg twice a day and i have been seizure free for 7 weeks now. It does make me feel dizzy occasionally and sometimes an energy drainer. I have my 3 month check-up on Monday.
I started on 1 pill twice per day and they increased it to 2. It was there for a long time and they increased it to 3 pills but noticed that when I went on my 4 mile or more walks that I couldn't walk a straight line so I cut my morning dose back to 2, never told them, and never had any problem since.
I mean, in the morning after taking a dose, I take a nap. After taking my other dose in the evening, I look up and hold my glasses to see straight and clearly and bend my head down to observe what I'm concentrating on. Like the tv.
