Dear Ms Pari,

Thanks for your query. I fully appreciate your concerns.

Appearance of rashes and, drowsiness are indeed side effects of Epilex.

If I had been your treating doctor, I would have immediately got your Blood counts, (particularly Platelet counts), liver function tests done. In the event of abnormal blood counts, I would have changed the drug.

Please remember that all anti-epileptic drugs cause drowsiness, and occasionally, mood changes.

Consult your treating doctor who will most likely change the drug.

Regards and have a nice day.
