trileptal

Avatar m tn Have not convinced my neurologist to let me switch meds. What success have people had using Oxcarbazepine for TN, and does it also cause ED? I don't want to use either carbamezapine or gabapentine if possible.
Avatar m tn Within the last two months, I have been experiencing burning and pain in my right foot (including toes). I am taking oxcarbazepine, is this a side affect or does it mean I need to increase the dose.
Avatar m tn I am taking tablets for my minor neural problem for the past 4 years, The tablets i am consuming are Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) -300mg and Levetiracetam (keppra) -250mg. Now I am looking for a tablet which should have both of this content in the same. I feel guilty that I am taking more tablets and my health condition is improved now. so I planned to reduce my tablet dosage. so I look over this- i.e.
Avatar f tn I just started taking oxcarbazepine 9 days ago and I built up to 300 mg,no high not even close.Not like with other drugs like oxycontin, were with in 30 min you get a buzz.I guess you have to take higher doses if thats were you want to go,but I dont know.
Avatar n tn I am not sure what the comp levels are but I am aware of what the CBC and oxcarbazepine are for. If it were lukemia wouldn't the WBC be high? I have joint problems my self and have been tested for lupus and RA, they were negative. So I don't think it would be that. Due to the fact it is mainly genetic. I did notice that when the lab drew his blood, it took about 20 minutes for the puncture to stop bleeding. Is that abnormal? When I took him to his dr.
Avatar f tn My question is if anyone has tried this med for Fibro pain? It's a new Rx for me and as usual I am reluctant to take first pill. If anyone knows about taking this med I would be grateful for any info. It has another name...Trileptal. Thanks.
Avatar f tn With all 3 of those meds, and especially Oxcarbazepine, you can find discussions online about amenorrhea, which means your periods stop. You might want to discuss this with your doctor, as websites suggest, if you're taking these medications and your menstrual period changes. Best wishes.
222267 tn?1253302210 Yes I took Trileptal (the brand name of what you are taking) years ago. It didn't work out for me but not for the reasons you said. Some people have found it tolerable and effective. It is clinically related to Tegretol which requires regular bloodtests to monitor for loss of white blood cells (which does not often occur but still must be tested for). It rarely happens with Trileptal, unlike Tegretol but it can on occasion.
Avatar f tn There has never been much research done on subs, for addiction recovery and especially cross medication research. There is more research on buprenorphine as a pain reliever in low dose for short term use. You won't find the answer to your question, if you do, it will be the effect the combo had on the person who tried it. I have used subs with lithium only. There seems to be no negative effect. I tapered off it as soon as the lithium was working good enough.
1108262 tn?1273179266 I just found this post. Yes I take trileptal or also known as oxcarbazepine 300mg for about 3 months. 3 a day everyday. I know it's not long. The very first day I took the medicion I started laughing on it for no reason. I felt really happy and I didn't want to argue. I just wanted to sit around laughing and having a good ol time. And for several weeks same thing but sometimes I felt like I was dying to get out of the house and do something. Then in the third week nothing.
Avatar m tn hi my son aged 11 years has been on sodium valproate (valparin syrup) 6 ml twice a day for the past 8 years. he has had the same dosage for all these years and no seizures. once a year my neurologist makes him have a sleep deprived eeg that has been coming abnormal so he has asked us to continue the medication. this year he ahs suddeny asked us to chnage to keppra. i am confused now because this is rather sudden and my son is used to the valparin now and has no side effects as such.
Avatar f tn I take Carbamazepine for ATN and have a new, rare reoccurring rash on my legs. My Dr. says they are not related, but when I researched it there were a few articles that indicated Carbamazepine could cause the rash.
Avatar f tn I’m on levetiracetam aka keppra and clobazam aka onfi. When I was on oxcarbazepine (trileptal) and levetiracetam (keppra) I started having these weird headaches where I would lose my vision, hearing, smell, and coordination, but I could still speak and feel. The doctors are pretty much stumped. Has anyone ever had a situation like this?
Avatar n tn Have to say after years without it I am totally unprepared for how bad it is. Now on tramadol for the pain and will check options for actual treatment but really just want a quick fix!
Avatar f tn During those times I had not yet been diagnosed and was able to go back to life like normal, however after the diagnosis and being on phenytoin and switching to oxcarbazepine i am feeling awful. Dizzy, nauseated, moody, extremely tired, severe headaches that come and go. All i get from my Neurologist is these are side effects that will eventually go away. Because i never know when these symptoms will come on too strong I have missed a lot of days at work during my probation period.
Avatar m tn Lithium Orotate is a lithium salt containing lithium as a orotate ion not a cabonate and is sold by health food stores and more than a few shady online sellers as everything from a cure for depression to an alternative to normal medical treatment. There is a misguided belief among some that its more green and more natural than Lithium Carbonate which of course is hilarious as both are versions of the same substance.
Avatar f tn ve presented and giving you reasons why they may be happening or telling you about how unlikely it is for an active 18 year old young man to have DVT, I'm going to give you better advice. Please see your PCP for a COMPLETE physical work-up and discuss with him/her your health anxiety. If all your tests return normal, which I'm sure they will, then I advise you to get into therapy to understand the root cause of this anxiety and begin to rid your life of it.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia yesterday and have been prescribed oxcarbazepine also hydrocodone for pain. I know I can trigger the attacks by movement of my head but I also get attacks by putting various foods in my mouth. I really don't even get a chance to taste them since I go into pain immediately. Do you have a list of triggering foods available?
Avatar m tn Ok personal info first, 26 male, have grand mal seizures ive had them for over 2 years i believe. 1. medication im on is Oxcarbazepine 300mg 2. when im tired i get these spasms that really screw up my life. 3. i have a frectured shoulder which i got from a car accident before i started having seziures. Question.... is there anyway my shoulder is the cause for my seziures?? and if i get it fixed is there a chance i wont have seziures anymore?
Avatar m tn Since I am not sure what the branded names are for these in India, here are the generic names for the most common anti-epileptics for seizures of the gelastic type: carbamazepine, clobazam, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxcarbazepine and topiramate. These medications rarely stop the seizures completely but reduce the frequency and severity of them. I hope this helps, my prayers are with you and your son.

FETAL ORIGIN OF THE RIGHT POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY" COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US WHAT THE ABOVE MEANS AND IS THERE IN CURE TO IT. HE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED TABLET FOR DAILY BASIS.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced swollen glands and itchy eyes when taking trileptal? I've only been on it now for 3wks and am currently on 75mg along with 375mg of Keppra twice daily. I don't have a rash but am wondering if this is just a cold or side effect from meds. I called the nurse yesterday at docs office they suggested being checked out by PMD, any suggestions? I dont have a fever or any other symptoms? Thanks for the feedback.
Avatar n tn He started with temp memory loss and the doctor put him on 2 Exelon Patches per day to help him with the memory loss and also he now on Oxcarbazepine 300 mg. My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep. Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this. My son loves to go out and dance and maybe has a couple of beers is the beer causing the seizures or is the body heat causing the seizure?
471949 tn?1236904026 Hi JKJ, I have a similar case of frontal lobe epilepsy with similar pattern of seizures occurring only during sleep, a male patient, 14 years of age, who has been on oxcarbazepine i.e Trileptal ( oxrate here in India) for the last few months and we did observe disturbances in his memory. The episodes of memory disturbances increased as we increased the dose, but it wasn’t so worse as in the first instance. We already tried Tegretol (carbamazepine) for him and it didn’t work.
Avatar n tn Medications used for this include Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Oxcarbazepine, Pregabalin, Neurontin, and others used for other conditions such as epilepsy or seizures. The medications reduce the frequency and severity of episodes, however the symptoms usually recur, and rarely they do disappear completely. Spinal stenosis should not be causing symptoms in your face.
Avatar n tn She had trigeminal neuralgia And was treated for neuropathic pain. Drug was Oxcarbazepine. 300 mil. If you are sensitive to drugs like she and I are you can half the pills. They are scored. My doctor just prescribed 150ml for me. Start tonight.
