My pdoc insists this reaction is "not a listed side effect" and that I "need to contact a doctor about this because this is possibly a neurological problem"... and yet, he says I should still be taking it? LOL WTF

Is it worth talking to my GP about this, or is my new pdoc being completely stupid? I mean, why the hell should I be taking this medication if I allegedly "have a neurological condition which interferes with it" ??? Does that mean my pdoc is BS'ing me about the neurological condition? I mean, it doesn't make sense to take medication if you supposedly have an underlying neurological condition that interferes with it. just sayin'


I had to quit trileptal cold turkey a few weeks ago because of the same thing. I went to urgent care and was sent to the ER for a neurological exam asap. From what I was told, it was a serious side effect and I'm sorry your pdoc took it so lightly!
