@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member This site (drugs.com) is a great site for finding out information on medications. I do not know what the addition of the acetate to the base medicine (eslicarbazepine) does, but that name is not in the drug database at Drugs.com. The above links will give you details on the name brand and generic forms of this anticonvulsants. You should read it.

You might also want to talk to your neurologist if continue to get sick from taking it. An increase in dosage of a medication can bring back side effects that you overcame after you initially started with the medication, but it rarely has additional ones.
