Starting Felbertol, Any Advice?
Starting Felbertol, Any Advice?
I just started taking Felbertol, and so far it's working great. Almost seizure free. But...I know it can cause liver damage so am doing bi-weekly blood levels/labs. Any experience or advice when taking this drug would be great, I know it's a delicate if not dangerous drug.

Your new med is exactly what your brain needed to function normally. If it was for your heart you'd be glad- sides for heart meds are far worse too. Be happy seizures are in control worry bout sides only if they affect you. A seizure w/o meds help could be deadly. Please realize how much this is helping not hurting you
