This time he's given me trileptal. That's one I've never tried, here's what I have to look forward to:


-an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
· symptoms of low blood sodium (nausea, general discomfort, headache, extreme drowsiness, or confusion);
· central nervous system effects (difficulty with concentration, speech, or language; excessive sleepiness or fatigue; a loss of coordination or trouble walking);
· double vision, nystagmus (back-and-forth movements of the eyes), blurred vision, or other visual disturbances; or
· increasing frequency or worsening of seizures.
• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take oxcarbazepine and talk to your doctor if you experience
· headache;
· mild sleepiness or fatigue;
· nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain;
· tremor;
· dizziness;
· rash;
· diarrhea, constipation, or decreased appetite;
· weight gain; or
· dry mouth.
