"I have only taken Epitol for 3 days, and thus far, my experience hasn't been totally negative. Yes, there have been side effects, including dizziness, confusion, etc. However, I am told these things will subside over time. What I do know is I am no longer afraid to live, to leave my house in fear of having a seizure that leads to a deadly outcome. I am willing to fight, I won't stop living, and I think Epitol can help me greatly in that way."

"A pharmacy replaced Carbamazepine with Epitol, it did NOT control my seizures. I was fearful of going out, for my seizures were not controlled. I got my Carbamazepine back, and my seizures are totally controlled. It is an ineffective drug."

"Epitol is an okay drug, but like any drug, it has its problems, like no sex drive, aggressive behavior, and mood swings. But if I don't have another seizure, it is worth it, and so far, so good."

"My experience was okay in the beginning till I stopped taking them, then started taking them again. I felt horrible, my mind was all over the place, my anxiety was kicked up a notch. I thought I was going crazy, but my doctor said it will subside soon. But I couldn't handle the 200 mg twice a day, so I cut one in half for now till my body gets used to them again. I'm glad to know I'm not alone with this."
