: My mother has had a seizure disorder for 40 years, she was doing well on mysoline for many years then was told by her opthamologist it was the cause of her Fuch's Syndrome. Her neurologist changed her to depakote
which she did not tolerate at all, symptoms included confusion, dizziness
and sever headache. She is now on tegretol, a few days ago she developed severe pain in head that was like a "wave" from one side off head to the other, also slurred speech and tremors. She went to her PCP
which did EKG which was normal then symptoms resolved except
headache which remains. It was not like her normal seizue's. Could this be side-effects from tegretol? Thanks for your help.
