I have tried all of the epilepsy drugs, this was a last resort. Since I started taken it I have not had any grand mal seizures. I have had only a few episodes in which I feel as if I may be starting one, but nothing has come of them. Published: October 08, 2007 ::

OMG! I have no appetite, headache, cramps, and very bad ??diarreaha??--but no seizures. Go figure. I have been taking it for 3 weeks now and it helps the seizures, but the side effects are getting to the point of almost making me give up on it. I am extremely uncomfortable.

Why in the world do I whount to take a med. that could couse you to have a blood transfusions,a bone marrew transplant. Annd no telling what eles????? And shouldnt the dr. tell you about the sied side effects. not just. Well it may cause loss of appetite, headache, and so on. And nothing about the sereus stuff????????? I lived with an ear ache for over a yr. and a half. Whent to 3 dr.s and thay told me there was nothing wroung with it . I looked up felbatoland its one of the sied effects. The dr. that gave it to me even told me it was nothing. My family dr. finly took me off of felbatol. And my ear ache whent a way. Now isunt that funny??? Published: December 01, 2008 ::

Be very careful when you begin this drug. If you begin feeling sick w/ a fever & a rash w/in a few days to week of beginning this drug, see a doctor immediatrely, & be SURE you tell them that you've just begun this rx. It can cause Stevens Johnson Syndrome, whose rash has to be treated like burns, has caused some of my few eye lashes that still grow to grow in towards my eyes, creating the need for many ccrnea transplants, & many other permanent, nasty effects!!! If not caught soon enough, it'll kill you. Unless you bring up your new usage of this medication, the physician may not diagnose you in time. Published: March 11, 2009 ::

I have been taking Felbatol for the last two years, it's the ONLY drug that works for me. Monthly blood tests are required to check for aplastic anemia but that is the only inconvenience. Losing your appetite isn't so bad, at least you lose weight!. It is the ONE drug that works for me! Published: February 05, 2009 ::

i'm allergic to most given seizure med. felbatol has been a wonder drug for me. i don't like the blood test I HAVE TO GET EVERY MONTH BUT HEY THIS IS THE MED THAT HAS WORKED THE BEST FOR ME. Published: July 15, 2008 ::

This medication has really did the trick. I was taking keppra and still had seizures. Since adding felbatol to keppra I have been seizure free. Published: May 20, 2009 ::
