Comment from: I_play_blue 13-18 Female less than 1 month Patient Published: August 01

Right away I had a fast, fluttering heartbeat. I assumed this was just another annoying side effect. I also had crazy dreams and trouble catching my breath. The teeth clenching came later, as well as single sounds sounding pitched lower, like a toy running out of batteries. Really trippy and weird. I had to stay home from work day three because I couldn't walk straight, and I stopped taking it then. My doctor didn't mention any of these side effects being a possibility except for the rash and dizziness, so make sure you know what you're up against!

I'm neutral to this drug. I take it regularly and mostly I space out. My hearing is abnormal (under-toned) about half an hour after ingestion... it is very weird.

I have been on the Epitol/Carb??? since Nov of 2011. About the first year 400mg twice daily was fine. Eight months ago the shocks returned, we switched to 200mg Epitol + 10mg of Baclofen every six hours. Recently, the facial sensitivity and mild shocks have returned.

If taken exactly on time it will work for your pain. I take 400 mg 3 times a day. In the winter time I have to increase the strength.

I have been taking this drug for the past 4 years and have been seizure free. No side effects and its the only one that works. I only take one a day and the doctors keep telling me that's not enough but apparently its working fine for me. I don't seem to have any problems driving, staying in the sun, or having the occasional margarita. It is worth a try, it was my wonder drug.

I was on this for about two weeks with no side effects, I felt fantastic and really felt like it was starting to work, then out of the blue got a severe head to toe rash accompanied by a nagging headache. I quit immediatly and the symptoms went away after a few days. I will say its worth trying but pay CLOSE attention to your body and take any abnormal signs seriously!

This med makes you feel like a sleepy spacecase. I think it's horrible. It will put you to sleep, but feeling like Charles Manson to go to sleep doesn't work for me. The side effects are worse then the problem ( as usual ). God help you if you drink grapefruit juice with this, you'll wake up thinking your'e in a drive-in horror movie.No thanks, I'd rather be "depressed".
