My mother who is 74 had a head injury with blood clots in her brain . This led to seizures which were treated for a year with eptoin . During this period she had almost complete loss of memory , cognition , and a lot of dementia like symptoms . After being taken off eptoin this month many of these symtoms have reversed . I can emphatically say that these symptoms had been caused by taking eptoin over a longg period and it would be beneficial for you to approach the doctor to consider taking stop the drug completely .Eptoin or any anti convulsant has these side effects an so must be taken under close medical supervision and for a limited time .

ARE THERE ANY POSSIBLE LINKS WITH ANY OF ABOVE WITH EPTOIN? IF YES, PLS LET ME KNOW WHAT ARE THOSE & HOW IT REACT.

All medicines taking now are,

Preetul, I am afraid I have no information on that, so I can't answer that question.

Since Marijuana is an illegal substance in many countries, including the U.S. where we are based, there are no studies done that evaluate its possible interactions with prescription medications.

However, you should be careful, because it does work on brain chemicals, so there is no way of knowing what effect it may have on you.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Eptoin contains the active ingredient Phenytoin, it most commonly used to help prevent epileptic seizures.

Has his doctor expressed any theory as to what is causing the problems he's experiencing?

Those are not generally normal side effects of this medication. It is also not recommended that he stop the medication abruptly, he may experience rebound effects, if he does so and it could result in much worse seizures than those he was being treated for.

As to the other medications, all drugs carry the risk of side effects.

Dicorate contains Divalproex Sodium and is also used as an anticonvulsant.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, loss of coordination and loss of appetite.

Lobazam contains the active ingredient Clobazam, it is a Benzodiazepine that is used to treat anxiety, nervous disorders, insomnia and can also help with seizures.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability.

If he wants to stop the Eptoin, he really needs to consult with his doctor and make sure he does it properly.
