Slow Reaction, Trileptal Side effect

I am currently on Trileptal 150mg. I suffer from nearly all the side effects but I normally deal with it. This friday, I was walking between two park cars. I didnt see a driver in one of the cars and didnt pay it any attention. I was looking to see if there was any traffic and thats it. I didnt seem to notice that one of the park cars started to trap me into the other car.  I happen to look down and saw the car moving against me but for some reason my sense didnt react like it should. Thats when i notice the driver in the car and that there was another pedestrian trying to get my attention. I saw the lady's lips move but didnt hear anything. I only heard her voice after her lips stop moving and everything came into focus. The driver was worried, and I told her everything is ok. I had a slow reaction and that has never happened to me. Its also one of the side effects of this medicine. And I never experience that before. Should I tell them to change this medicine because of this or continue with that. Luckily, it was a close call. But what do you think? Or should I just take it when I know I am not going anywhere.

When I go to my group session, I will alert my psych doctor as soon as I see her. Thanks so much

I would think you should tell them as soon as possible what happened and that it has been noted as a side effect of the medication and they could decide what to do from there.
