"i wish i could echo all the positive stories mentioned in this string of comments but...i have had some inconvenient side effects including: double vision, fatigue (even with regular exercise, somewhat healthy diet, and a healthy amount of sleep each night) and major hostility, particularly with those close to me.  maybe my dosage isn&#039;t right but i am not sure i want to stick with it.  i take it in addition to a fairly low dose of lamictal."
