Patient's question:
My husband has been taking medication to manage his epilepsy. What are the side effects of epilepsy medication?Doctor's answer:
Some patients may experience adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, upper abdominal pain, nystagmus, dizziness, ataxia, diplopia, skin itching, rash, and neutropenia when taking oral antiepileptic drugs. Generally, strictly following the doctor's instructions can effectively minimize these adverse reactions, and they will never affect normal life. If the adverse reactions persist and worsen continuously, hospitalization for follow-up diagnosis is required, and the doctor will adjust the type of medication or change to a new cumulative dose under guidance.
