Would Losing Memory And Weak Eyesight Be The Result Of Falling Periodically?

In 97, i first fell down during playing. Hospitalised and after C T Scan, doctor advised Tegretol and two other tablets each day and night. The result was not positive like losing memory, headache, etc. Then in 2000 again was fell down, and doctor advised for tegretol only twice in a day after doing C T Scan. All was good but suddenly in 03, again got an attack serious one for more than an hour and my head was bursted all the day. I was hospitalised and after C T Scan it was advised to take eptoin 100mg twice a day. And then, after two years doctor increased one tablet in day and two in night. But in 08, it increased to 2 each in day and night. And in 12, again getting some indications with headache, losing concentration, etc. During all the period some other disorders i found in myself such as weak eyesight, headache, losing memory (sometime forget what i did or said in last five minutes), not able to speak properly and majorly always feel weakness and stay in high tension sometime without reason. Would really appreciate your suggestions and help ( YYYY@YYYY )

Looking forward to some

Sorry to know about your bad state of health since 1997. All these appear to me as if you are suffering from seizzure disorder now controlled with phenytoin 400 mg per day. But now your symptoms may be due to phenytoin toxicity. Kindly ask your doctor to do a serum phenytoin level and a mri of brain for knowing of any pathology.decreasing the dose can help.
