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.
Avatar n tn I have a 4 `/2 y/o male with intermitten petechiae on his chest, neck, and shoulder. He has also had 3 nose bleeds and easy to bruise. He was on Trileptal for a month and it was D/Ced because of these symptoms. He has been off of the med. for a week now and more showed up two days ago. His CBC, comp. and Oxcarbazepine level were fine. What could be causing this?

222267 tn?1253302210 I just started OXCARBAZEPINE. I am really sick. I am on 600mg at night. I woke up this morning with a headache and I have felt like I have the flu all day. I cannot eat or drink anything. I'm exausted. Does anyone have experience with this med? How long will these symptoms last? I have to somehow work tomorrow. I am getting so tired of being sick and tired. I'm not depressed. I'm just coming back from hell. I had major surgery. It made me have a severe manic episode.

1035297 tn?1255899867 Does anyone else have a hard time not turning to drugs or alcohol while experiencing dysphoria or mixed states? I find it extremely difficult. Most of the time I can refrain, but sometimes it's so hard I have no idea what else to do. Therapy doesn't help, the meds aren't working...what are some things you guys do during these times?
Avatar n tn If so, you are not helping yourself with taking these above medications with alcohol, if we are speaking about a glass of wine or a beer it's not the greatest choice but not all is lost. If you speaking about drinking frequently then you are not only not helping yourself but you are putting your mental and physical health in danger. Please don't do that to yourself, surely your aim for taking medication is to get well, not the exact opposite.
Avatar f tn You need to see a general doctor. The dose is two teaspoons. The effect could be very serious mixed with alcohol. Dr. O.
Avatar m tn Your body can store sugar, fat, and water, but it has no way to deal with alcohol other than to filter it out. When alcohol gets into your bloodstream, your body essentially treats it like poison and prioritizes processing it. Your body works to process alcohol first so that other things like the water and sugar may go to storage, causing water retention. Fluids start to collect in your body tissue, and gravity makes water collect in your feet and sometimes your hands.
Avatar m tn I've taken a total of 6mg of xanax today, Is alcohol an issue with that dosage?
Avatar f tn I would wait. My sister has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome from a drink our mom had at a birthday party. Fetal alcohol syndrome ruined my sisters life. I remember when she was 10 she was picked on so bad. Our rooms were divided by one wall and one night she finally had enough. She was bashing herself into the wall and scratching at it screaming for God to kill her. At 10yrs old. She was violent, mean, hateful, and her face and body STILL look childlike and underdeveloped. Shes 21 now.
Avatar f tn Now last week I saw a new neuro for some seizure medicine complications and he is going to wean me off the Topamax and slowly put me on Lamictal, which I have begun, I am only on 25mg right now. Today I had a very small amount of alcohol, a mixed rum beverage, which I mixed myself, and I felt absolutley awful. My face turned bright red, I felt very flushed, and I felt out of sorts after drinking it.
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 f tn My doctor switched me to oxcarbazepine and that stopped the issue. The one extra oxygen molecule somehow helped the situation. Ask your doctor to make the adjustment and see if that helps.
Avatar f tn I drank 2 24 racks of beer every day with some hard a mixed in everyday I found out I was pregnant n stopped but when I found out I was already 13w
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 f tn Go ahead and enjoy the night out. Check with your doc to see if he thinks adding alcohol is alright (be sure to remind him of the medications he has prescribed for you). Personally, I stopped drinking when I realized MS caused plenty enough off-balance walking, slowed cognition, thick speech, blurry vision, and unreliable reaction times. MS also limits my activity so much that even small portions of nutritious calories pack on extra pounds.
Avatar f tn I was recently diagnosed with epilepsy after 4 sycopal episodes two of which cause head and face injuries. 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.

7318886 tn?1390092103 Hard to say, since you were with your boyfriend who presumably has no need to spike your drinks to have sex. "A few" vodkas is a lot of vodka, and when mixed with something sweet (was it raspberry liqueur or rasperry juice? If liqueur, you're getting double the alcohol), not easy to detect whether the drink is strong or weak, maybe someone was pouring with a heavy hand. Even if you have drunk a lot other times, there is always a first time for a blackout.
