seizure

my stepdad has been recently diagnosed with a seizure disorder. He feels more sick on the medication than he did beforehand. Hes constantly throwing up from being so nauseous , he explains what he says his limbs are gonna explode, he also gets pounding headaches. He is on 1500mg 2x daily. Anyone else experience anything like this??

My husband didnt have those issues but when he was on Dilantin it caused him some mental health issues. Your dad needs to go back to the doctor and explain what he is feeling. They may need to change his meds or lower the amount on them. Make sure his doctor is a neurologist that specializes in Seizures...because they would know the best way to handle his condition.
