Ive been on it for awhile now. I'm at the max dosage of it ( 12 mg ) . My Dr. said that being on that high of a dose may cause behavioral change. The biggest thing they hear about , is the feeling of paranoia and to keep an eye out for any signs. But I haven't had that trouble.

I recently got on it. It did slow my seizures! However a side effect I get from it is extreme dizziness and clumsiness. I feel like the slow seizures way outweigh the con of dizziness. I'm not on full dosage.

I've been on it for a couple months. I think it nay be impacting my mood somewhat but not a lot. Just taking me longer to calm down when I get angry.

Was prescribed it, the script is still sitting on my desk...and he wants me on the max possible over a period of time. Nothing ive read about the drug and i did extensive research. Being such a new drug, 2009 i believe, this is not an assured drug. It may work for me, but im too afraid of taking and changing my old scripts which still have many refills.....could be the magic pill ive been looking for, but wont be taking.
