Side effects I do have are dizziness and a bit of blurred vision, but not always on either on those. I think I'm more tired than I used to be. I haven't had any seizures since I began regularly taking this medicine and I've been on it for around 9 years now. (My seizures have been controlled and cause no problems in my life, but I may just have a calmer disorder to begin with.)
