Hi,

Thanks for your reply and for the useful link.

Regarding previous tests, I have taken CT Scan and EEG. A week ago, I consulted a neuro physician and he suggested for following tablets and asked me to stop the Eptoin 100 mg and continue the tablets which he recommended for several months

Tablets Name:
---------------------

1) Dicorate ER 500 (each tablet contains divalproex sodium equivalent to valproic acid)

2) Cobasoft OD (mecobalamin 1.5 mg,alpha lipoic acid 100mg,folic acid
    1.5mg,pyridoxine hydrochloride 3.0mg)

Please give your opinion.

Hi,

What tests were done previously? Eptoin contains phenytoin which is used to control seizures. SIde effects are usually dose-related and include nystagmus, decreased coordination, and mental confusion, dizziness, insomnia, and headaches. You can read more about this through this link:
