Phenytoin valproic acid
Common Questions and Answers about Phenytoin valproic acid
dilantin
Neuroleptics like carbamazepine, felbamate, valproic acid, clonazepam and phenytoin alongwith gabapentin are effective. Local anesthetic agents like intravenous application of lidocaine, tocainide or mexiletene, can be prescribed as combination. Spinal cord stimulation introduces low level of electrical current to the dorsal portion of spinal cord and can include a fully implanted system or a system with an external power source.
As you mention, valproic acid has various side effects, weight gain is a common one. Other antiepileptic medications do not cause weight gain, but each has its side effects, some are much more tolerable than others. While it is great news that your MRI has not shown any tumor recurrence, this does not necessarily imply that you are no longer at risk for seizures.
I had a vitrectomy for epiretinal peel six months ago. Dr. says scar tissue has formed again and I am scheduled for the same surgery next week. My vision did not improve. What are the chances of improvement this time? I AM ALSO TAKING AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG FOR 4 MONTHS "VALPROIC ACID".
Thank you for your reply
I used valproic acid 5 years.I stop taking the drug and no seizures for 8 years. After I had the first time seizure and ı went a doctor, he did not give me drug. After 2 years I had seizure again and I started using lamictal 75 mg. I'm using 2.5 years. For a year, I have amenorrhea and eye floaters. I got about 30 kilos.
It was very difficult to get used to the drug. Re-live the same things I'm afraid to go to the doctor. What should I do, I need help. These side effects are serious?
she was also on keppra for about a month but it was useless. now as of today. she takes dilantin, valproic acid capsuls, vimpat, and dilantin. it seems to be working ok, the seizures have slowed down somewhat but she has also been diagnosed with stress related seizures as well as the gran mahl seizures. the vimpat since she has been taking it with the other two has slowed them down although she still has one when she gets severly stressed or over excited.
Now he is on valproic acid and doing much better. I have heard others say the same but about valproic acid, so I assume that the reaction that they have to meds is a personal one...each child is different!!
Make sure that this child is seeing a neurologist or epileptologist....Keep a jouranl of all modd, behavior, physical and social issues and bring these up to the dr. This will help them determine when a med needs to be changed.
Hello, I'd like to see Depakote (Valproic Acid) added to the medications available on the tracker for mood. Thank you very much for your assistance.
all u can do is apply for it and if they let it go through then yes if not them you have to find something. no one can tell you besides the government. i can tell you its very hard, I am a severe depressive with psychotic features, mild anxiety and BPD. and they gave me medicaid but said that i can have a job just not one where i work around the public.
The doctor is mostly concerned about steroids but I have had an allergic reaction to Tegretol, Clinoril, Dicloxacillin, Penicillian family, Valproic Acid, and Prednesone. My doctor knows all about this in fact he diagnosed the Stevens-Johnson when no one else realized why I was so sick.
Right now they are trying Naproxen for spinal and sacariliac problem. Constipation being a concern.(Lost a third of colon with the Stevens-Johnson).
