User Reviews for Epitol oral

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!Read More Read Less

once taking I had burring vision and loss of leg muscle

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.

200 mg twice a day makes me sleepy and unable to focus. Makes me feel anxious.

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.

Not effective for tgn

I have been on epitol for 6 months and hate it. I feel sick to my tummy all the time. I sneeze non stop and my eyes get watery. I also have heart burn all the time. I just recently got took off epitol and I feel much better. I have no more discomfort. Super happy I can breath threw my nose again.

I have trigeminal neuralgia which was quite severe. This drug completely eliminated my pain.I have had to increase dose over the past several years.

this drug has not relieved any nerve pain symtoms. ,only makes me feel that iam having a panic attack..

Im 25 and have had almost all the unlikely but serious side effects. To extreme headaches, to joint paain, and feeling flu like symptoms. Ive been on it a month, and have to get off this medication. Its calming me down, so much so i just sit there and dont care about going out.

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.

before i started taking this medicine i was lost,I lost my job and was about to lose my wife and kids because bipolar was controling me.Now that I have been taking it I am doing really well.We are a family again.

have been using for at least 5 yrs. with great success but now the pain is returning

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".
