Epilim is well tolerated but at a high dose I had nausea. There is evidence that it also causes male infertility but my epilepsy specialist is saying this is still being explored.

Long term it has caused weight gain I have gained 10 kgs from 70kg to 80kg. I asked my epilepsy specialist who told me about this. He was not supportive and rather than suggesting improving my diet and exercise, he said would I want more seizures?

There is a history of Diabetes and Heart Disease and I don't want to be obese. I'm borderline obese at 5'5. I have been monitoring my food intake etc.

I am considering coming off it and told him I would like to explore another medicine.
