It was my daughter's fourth and last med that we tried. It caused fever and sore throat and the doctor said .. stop

All doctors will tell you that you have to be on a med forever.
That is how the pharma companies make $.

I have been on it for only 5 months. I have had no lasting problems so far. It has completely stopped my seizures. I have TLE. Yes I was also told the same thing about being on it forever... I don't know how long the drug has been out in the US. Guess we need to do some research. Stay in touch.
