Does it affect your hair and teeth?
Thank all of you for your responses πππ
I think they mis typed. I was on 1000 mg per day and it was said to be a "high dose." I'm off of it now and very happy to be.
I've been on my meds, and have a few, but, not nothing abnormal with and am used to, what are your thoughts and such, you don't have to answer the question here If you don't feel like it.
I've taken some medication that I had some side-effects like feeling very tired all the time. I've also had alot of depression when I was growing up with seizures and sometimes today I get depressed.

Has your hair ever fallen out when using depicote?
Tonight lost like a chunk of my hair because of it.
I am aware that skipping pills could lead to seizures.I am on Vimpat and it has worked great but skipping pills could lead to grand mal seizures. I had a grand mal seizure about a month ago due to not taking my medicine correctly. I've been taking my medicine just fine recently but starting to have petit mal seizures (staring for 10/20 seconds). Can medicine just stop working? can epilepsy continue to get worse?
I'm taking 500mg of Dilantin (Phenytoin) daily. Been seizure free for about 25 years.
