Eptoin 100mg Side Effects And How To Stop Using It (Top voted first)

Updated

My brother has been taken eptoin 100mg for more than 4 years till date with 2 doses a day and at present he is complaining of backaches and pain in the right leg which he cannot move and sometimes he is having breathing problem and weak. He could not sleep every night but slept around 2-3 Am morning till 11:00 Am, along with eptoin 100mg, the doctor advised him to take Dicorate 500mg and lobazam-0.5 which he is taken regularly. Do these medicines have any side effects? If he stops eptoin what would be the result? Please do reply with any suggestions.

My mother aged 82yrs had to undergo head injury in 1992 ...She had been prescribed eptoin 100 2tabs at bedtime...4-5 yrs back this dose was reduced to 1tab. Since then we have noticed that she is increasingly becoming very aggressive in behavior. Of late she seems to have become somewhat violent...Often raising her hand at the maid who works for her. Also she has hallucination n says..."My son n his family came last night...Call them for breakfast" whereas her son is in another country...Sometimes she starts cooking for some guests who she says are in the house. She is particularly rude n uses abusive language with the domestic help. Since she and my 86yr old father live alone, it is increasingly becoming difficult to cope. Does eptoin 's dose have anything to do with her changing behaviour?

Eptoin contains the active ingredient Phenytoin, it most commonly used to help prevent epileptic seizures.

Has his doctor expressed any theory as to what is causing the problems he's experiencing?

Those are not generally normal side effects of this medication. It is also not recommended that he stop the medication abruptly, he may experience rebound effects, if he does so and it could result in much worse seizures than those he was being treated for.

As to the other medications, all drugs carry the risk of side effects.

Dicorate contains Divalproex Sodium and is also used as an anticonvulsant.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, loss of coordination and loss of appetite.

Lobazam contains the active ingredient Clobazam, it is a Benzodiazepine that is used to treat anxiety, nervous disorders, insomnia and can also help with seizures.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and irritability.

If he wants to stop the Eptoin, he really needs to consult with his doctor and make sure he does it properly.

Are there any other questions or comments?

My wife had an sudden and unexpected bleeding in the brain a year and 10 months back. Fortunately, for her she returned to normal within a short while without much damage.

My mother who is 74 had a head injury with blood clots in her brain . This led to seizures which were treated for a year with eptoin . During this period she had almost complete loss of memory , cognition , and a lot of dementia like symptoms . After being taken off eptoin this month many of these symtoms have reversed . I can emphatically say that these symptoms had been caused by taking eptoin over a longg period and it would be beneficial for you to approach the doctor to consider taking stop the drug completely .Eptoin or any anti convulsant has these side effects an so must be taken under close medical supervision and for a limited time .

Hi! I am 43 yrs male.
In 1st Jan. 2011 faced to an open brain surgery to remove a Pituitary macro Adenoma. Since then taking Eptoin 100mg 3times each per day( at night abt 1 hr before sleep). In mid may 2011 had CSF leak and repaired by a Lumber draining. But, again CSF leak started 1 week later and added Diamox 125mg 2 times per day till now. CSF leack now not flowing out from the nose.

Now I am facing to, late night sleep and late wake up; Heavy sleepy feeling while even 10mints reading and getting to a deep sleep for several hours even without feeling mobile ringing beside the bed; Knee pain a/f short walk; Extra leanness of legs, specially thigh; Sensitivity loss in foot specially right side; Tingling in both legs foots, specially Heel and top side close to taw fingers; Spine pain and some burning feel spots; Occasional burning feeling in forehead and top; Some water flowing feel in ears & still from nose( but never come out); 16 Kg weight loss within 6 months a/f surgery; Short term memory loss; Loosing rapid urine passing; cough when bend the neck and constipation as the mains. ARE THERE ANY POSSIBLE LINKS WITH ANY OF ABOVE WITH EPTOIN? IF YES, PLS LET ME KNOW WHAT ARE THOSE & HOW IT REACT.

All medicines taking now are,

Eptoine 100mg(bd) for 11/52;
Diamox 125mg(mn/noc) for 7/52;
Hydrocortisol 10-5-5mg ( total 20mg per day) for 11/52;
Thyroxine 150mg (mn) 100mg for 6/52 and 150 for 1/52;

Ezemibe 20mg(noc) for 2/12;

Preterax 2.5mg (mn) for 2.5yrs;

All Hormones of bothT4 and TSH; 9am cortisol and
Testosterone levels are below the lower range.

Those hormones were improving a/f surgery BUT again went down range a/f CSF leak start.

Kindly read all and provide your professional comments. Tx!

I had first epileptic attack on 2001 when i was in college. Doctor advised me to take guardinal 60mg tab for one month and said that that was due to over stress. Then i went to another neurologist, she was a lady doctor. She advised me to take eption 100mg tablet a day. After taking it for 3 years i was cure completely. Then i stopped taking tablet. But suddenly one day i became senseless. After that i again started taking eption 100mg tab once a day without consulting doctor. From then i have no such attack. But now i have felt myself to be somewhat lack of confidence, irritating. I want to get rid of taking medicine. Please guide me what can i do now?

Preetul, I am afraid I have no information on that, so I can't answer that question.

Since Marijuana is an illegal substance in many countries, including the U.S. where we are based, there are no studies done that evaluate its possible interactions with prescription medications.

https:/­/­rxchat.com/­wiki/­Phenytoin/­

However, you should be careful, because it does work on brain chemicals, so there is no way of knowing what effect it may have on you.

Are there any other questions or comments?
