Thank you all. I'm on sodium chloride tablets daily also so will be cautious regarding the sodium situation. I'm sure the doctor will do regular blood tests but I'll query the sodium issue. Fycompa is giving too many side effects of irritability and anger.
Me neither, hearing of it.
I've never heard of it
I found out that that Zebinix is related to Aptiom . They are both Brandnames to
Elsicarbazepine Acetate . Approved in the United States and Europe.
Other than that Iām not sure of the Side effects
Zebinex ( Eslicarbazapine Acetate)
Sub Clinical Seizures
For Those Of You Who Have Been Going To A Seizure Specialist What Has The Experience Been Like?
