Yes, a very good experience seeing it got seizures under control. I would also talk to my doctor about all this which I did before he put me on. Make sure you go to bed at a reasonable time. it is a time released medication that goes into your system over a period of 12 hrs. It may cause you to be drowsy use care when operating cars or dangerous machinery. Avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to direct and/or artificial sunlight when taking it. Take it with food and to not crush it, swallow it whole. warnings like this should appear on the bottle.

My husband was on it and it turned him into a total @$$ within about 2 weeks of starting it. So one of the side effects was him being a jerk. He's on a new med and we don't have those problems anymore.

a friend of mine took it and had a lot of adverse side effects, when I started having my night time seizures they went to put me on it and I requested they put me on something different so they put me on topamax - I had a lot of fatigue until they got my dosages straightened out and haven't had any side effects since
