This works good if taken in the proper dosages if you take to much it makes you sleepy and feel like you are drunk. I have been overdosed by my previous doctor and it made me to where i could not even walk or talk properly.

Advice & Tips
I am a very bad epileptic this drug did not control my siezures. I have taken it for a very long time and it takes a lot to remember to take it as often as I have to so I guess I don't have much good to say. I must say I do not have anything bad to say about this drug. I can't tell of any side effects that I noticed. I was told that it takes vitamin-B from your body. I do have to take vitamin-B 12 for the rest of my life also but I can't say that it all came directly from this drug. I have been on so many different pills.

No real side effects for me, as with any meds, watch alcohol intake. Don't ever not take it btw - went 3 days once and 3rd day had a seizure...I have never procrastinated again about going to get my meds.

Advice & Tips
I asked my family, back in the '80s, never to remind me of my medecines. They took a while to get used, but I insisted and even got kinda furious if they told me "don't forget your medecines". I explained them if anyone had to remember it was myself, and I should get used to do it by my own. So after a while I stopped earing that phrase and, at the same time, became used to rely exclusively on my memory to take the pills. It worked, I stopped having seizures when I was 21 (more or less). I'm a lucky person. One unexpected benefit I got but I don't know if it comes from the TG 400 CR: I regained my memory and even improved photographic and number memory.
