User Reviews for Epitol oral

This med makes you feel like a sleepy spacecase. I think it's horrible. It will put you to sleep, but feeling like Charles Manson to go to sleep doesn't work for me. The side effects are worse then the problem ( as usual ). God help you if you drink grapefruit juice with this, you'll wake up thinking your'e in a drive-in horror movie.No thanks, I'd rather be "depressed".

I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar disorder over 10 years ago. The doctor even admitted that "it's hard to tell if it's depression or the 'husband'". Was given this med with various other depression meds including Abilify over time. The 'husband' is gone and so is the depression. One doc admitted that I had been mis-diagnosed. So ten years later here I am trying to wean my self from this drug. I feel better than I've felt in many years. Please get a second or even third opinion when being diagnosed. Bi-polar is totally over-used. Read More Read Less

Taking this drug for anger management. Somewhat effective, but the side effects have become increasingly too much for me to handle. Will be planning a trip to the doctor to request a change.

Although their have been no seizures while on the medication, the side effects have done more harm. My son is 10 years old and he has increased forgetfulness,lethargic and his equilibrium is off. His teachers comment that he is not focused and he forgets and it is a great concern for them. I don't like a medication where the side effects do more harm than the condition.

i can not live a every day life. I have extremely bad panic and anxiety attacks.

I've been taking this drug for about 7 months and found it difficult in the beginning. All I could do was sleep in taken twice a day as prescribed. I still can only take it once a day or I can't stay awake. I haven't found it to be that helpful in treating my condition and an considering finding another doctor to treat me. Doesn't work near as well as the Lithium did but was told I couldn't stay on that any longer. I still have alot of trouble with my mood swings!

I've been taking this drug for the past 5 years and I hadn't had any of the side affects. It's helped me throughout the years.

skin changes ie rash and peeling skin on foreshead

I was miss-diagnosised with neauropthy and have been on some type of generic of Tegretol. I am now trying to get off the drug but have withdrawl conditions.

I have been taking carbamazpine for 15 years for seizure activity.

I was started on this drug with a very small dose but still had another seizure so the tripled the dose. I became very ill including fever, chills, massive headache, vomiting and the next day started a thick red raised rash. The rash spread even to the palms of my hands and between my toes, inside my mouth and tongue. I would be very very careful. This rash did not stop when I stopped taking the medication. It continued to spread for days. It took heavy steroids to knock it out.

it makes me feel fuuny at time unlike the other

my doc put me on this trying to help me with my mood very angry and very irritated and depressed been on it about a month and i have to say it kinda made me feel spacy at first but after about 3 days it was great report back later
