The only drug that controlled my tonic clonic seizures. Am currently taking this with Lamictal. Side effects included dizziness, blurred vision. These side effects come and go and i have learned to function with them. I have been on it for 8 years.

Used as a mood stabilizer on max dosage. Works well with minor short term memory problems.

Worked wonderful! The only annoying side effect would be forgetfullness, confusion, and selective hearing ;)
