Please note that there is lot of difference in my life style. First of all my memory was effected, I feel confused, I would have sometimes difficulty in speaking. At that time I was taking Tegretol crSince past 1 year almost every month I get minor attack. I changed to a 2-2-2, tpaz 50 2-2-2 (8 months) before that I was taking Zeptol Cr 200 2-2-2, Zeptol 100 1/2, 1/2, Zafiz (for 2 months).doc. HE has suggested me the following drugs. In the morning on empty stomach I have to take Adesam 400, Valprol CR200 (morning and night),Topazam 50mg (morning and night) and Levesam 250 (morning and night and Lobazam (night),Folvite.

first of all: all antiepileptic drug has some side effects, but it depends on the medications and the patient
some of them may affect your memory, others may affect your weight.
also some anti epeliptic drugs can make dizziness,
but you should use the right drug for your seizure.
