I am on a divaprolex and levatercitum, and I used to be on Dilantin and phenobarbital, but did have a slight bit of the side effects listed but was ok with that and nothing out of the ordinary, my current meds have 20 each of a side effect of, but I am not hoping this for me or anyone else who takes medication, just curious?

Dilantin, worked best for me,
But after taking it almost 20 years it went toxic in my system

Good question. I haven’t noticed any unusual side effects that, may not of been on the list of side affects.

Hello my friend. There's a great site I've been using for a while called Drugs.com. It has a great medication interaction option which is available. Both consumer and professional information concerning medication interactions, duplications etc. Check it out if you have the time. Much đź’ś. I pray that you are going to have a seizure free day today.

Hmmmm. I'm pretty sure this can't happen for a few reasons. The meds are made so they work alongside each other and can't really interfere. What does happen though especially with AED meds they can have side effects that are either very similar or the same as other meds. If you are on a med that has a similar or the same side effect then its not hard to see why it may seem like this is what happens.

Any medication that I am prescribed I check in my A-Z medication book, then on the Internet for any side effects or interactions I'm already taking before taking them, to try and prevent having seizures, Take care 🙏
