caused nausea, blurry vision, extreme headaches and appetite loss. this med was to transition me from depakote/ valproic acid (1500mg daily) to a gradual higher dose of lamictal whilst still taking depakote. I only took it for a week my side effects were too unbearable.

The side effects of this med have been bothersome. Inability to concentrate and memory issues. It is very difficult to get off of this drug.
