Comment:
Have had this mild seizure disorder for years, liked this drug the best. Since beginning the treatment I have experienced a gradual-but noticeable decline in seizure episodes to where they are now almost non-existant. However, for me there has been a noticeable increase in needed periods of sleep. No other side effects noted.
