Vitamins combined with seizure meds what're the risks?
Hi!
Let me start by saying that I am epileptic I have been for over 36yrs now since I was 3yrs old. Right now I'm taking 4 diff. meds, which are lamictal 150mg twice a day, prestige 50mg once a day, vimpat 150mg twice a day, and serquel 300mg at night time only. Which each new meds that I have taken over the yrs I have had many diff side effects. One of the main side effects I'm having right now is a low sex drive, so I have looked up on the internet on what I could take that could help with the issue. I have read that certain vitamins can help with such situations. The ones I have taken most of all that I have read up on is fish oil vitamins, vitamin c, and dhea. I have heard that you can either not take enough vitamins, or you can take too much. I have a aunt that's a nurse and she said that when a person is taking meds regularly that it's not good to take too many vitamins. Anyways my point is that I was at a point that I was taking these vitamins everyday, and I started feeling like I was losing my mind set pattern. I don't know if it had anything to do with me mixing too many vitamins with my meds. I know I need to ask my doc about this but I was hoping that I could get some feedback from others other then a medical minded set of view. Someone that can relate to what I'm going through right now, and if you can tell me if these unwanted mind set patterns had anything to do with the mixture of these pills. Only because I have noticed a great deal of diff since I have stopped taking the vitamins again. Can anyone help me in this? Let me know if this is only in my head or something. I hope to be hearing from you!
