: Hello. i was on four hundred mgs of dilantin, but i broke out in a rash so the doc is weaning me off that and put me on tegrotal 400mgs a day. Can anyone tell me some of the side effects to this drug.?? Any advice would be great.

Hi

My son was put on ever increasing doses of tegeratol to control his seisures. Lasted for a month or so and then had breakthrough seisures. he also hallucinated while on the drug. He is now on epilim since September has not had any seisures and is no longer seeing monsters! Just be careful what drug suits one person doesn't suit another.
