I recommend in fututre that if you don't any drug and your doctor refuses to take you off it, just stop taking it yourself. Go back on your previous medication if possible. Don't take anything you don't trust. Drug companies are just out to make money and they don't give a damn who they hurt.

I'm a man. I've been on Epilim most of my life. Epilim is the reason I was never able to have kids. Epilepsy is the reason I'll never be allowed to adopt.
