Hi
I am new here. I am 30 years old and suffer from epilesy, depression, PCOS and insulin resistancy.
Well now my question for all you members that take epilim.
I was diagnosed with Grand mal when i was about 13. was on phenobarbital till i was 18 and had sizures. Then the neurologist changed my medication to Epilim and since then i am sizure free.
Well i am taking it for 12 years now and would like to go off, but the doctors just tell me if i am sizure free i should be happy.
The thing is the side effects are getting to me. I personally beleive that the deperession, PCOS and insulin resistancy is from the epilim.
Does anybody here have simular sideeffects or is it just in my head.
I did some research and there are studies that show that PCOS and insulin resistacy occures more in women that take epilim.
Advice will be greatly appriciated.
