Advice & Tips
I have been having problems with my gums & teeth hurting and when I looked up side effects on the internet among the listed was the receeding gum lines caused by anti-siezure meds.

Date
Jun 30, 2010
Advice & Tips
The only thing that concerned me is that my gums started receeding and when I looked up causes for that I saw that anti-siezure meds may cause that. When I stopped taking it the burning and pain did not return so I have only been taking it as I need it which is very seldom.
