Hello

These are seizure medicines. Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, they are used for seizures or for bipolar disease. one side numb is a symptom that is hard to evaluate. Without an exam, I can only give general information. and one side involving face, arms and legs isn't a pattern you find with the nerves or brain and would be more often from a psychological condition. Seizures, bipolar disease, depression, or medicinal effects all commonly cause mood changes and this would have to be evaluated in person.

Hope I have answered your query.
