 Posted: 08/14/06 - 00:07 Post subject: EPILEPSY side effects |
  |
|
Hi, my son is epileptic and taking Epilim over 8 years. (he is 22 now)
It does control but side affects are so bad 
I do recearching (es a mum) but so fare no cure.
If we can now somehow stop canser to progress how come we can't gat read of epilepsy. belive me , it's more epilepsy out there than canser.
Only very sad mum. |

Hi! I am very sorry to hear about your pain. I know that our own problems are always the hardest especially if it concerns our children.
I know Epilim can have side effects, causing one to feel lethargic, tired, and weak. Some patients experience increased appetite and weigh gain, others have constant gastrointestinal problems like stomachaches, vomiting, etc
Have you ever tried talking to your sons doctor about these side effects, about the drug dose your son is receiving, if there was a way to somehow reduce those side effects and make your son feel a bit better. The good thing is that the drug is working and that your son doesn’t have the seizures.
Try to talk to the doctor to see if there was a way to reduce the side effects. Good luck! |

Thanks anyway, I will.
There is med. KEPPRA
Is anybody try that ?
It's very hard for me 2 take him to doctor, he lost his hope with them.
He is now owerwaight, lost haire and not seizure free because can't remember 2 take it sometime.
I can not see him like this anymore. Mum. |
