Advice & Tips
1. I took it once daily every morning.
2. None that I noticed.
3. I can't say for certain. Coping with the side effects of the anti-seizure meds took prevalence over this drug.
Cost
$25-49 monthly

Advice & Tips
I've only been taking it for 7 days and maybe it's too soon for an evaluation on everything but I have been depressed lately with a complete loss of appetite. However I cannot attribute these symptoms to this drug with certainty because [sometimes] I feel this way after a seizure too. I have been feeling depressed lately though and scared. I"m worried. I feel uneasy. It's hard to explain. I will reevaluate this drug again at the end of month.
