Hello, Kim! How are you?

No, it's not necessarily too much. The dosages of most anticonvulsants have to be set to meet an individuals needs to stop their seizures or keep them under control.

However, long-term use of them, as reported by the FDA, may result in your experiencing some side effects, such as memory loss, clumsiness and weight gain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
