Hello,
Let me tell you that every drug has it's side effects. The doctor prescribes you the drug because it's advantages clearly outweigh side effects.
Epilex is an anticonvulsant that is prescribed for seizures and that is why the doctor has prescribed it.
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea are some of the side effects of Epilex but these side effects are not very serious and you should know that treating seizures is much more important than the side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
