epilepsy
"I have been taking Felbamate since November 1990 when I was in the Phase 111 investigational study.  I have been completely seizure-free since April 1991.  Although there have been serious side effects associated with this drug; I have not experienced any.  My Doctor has ordered that  I have an ALT, AST, and CBC, every 6 weeks. I also periodically have a B12 blood test.  From what I understand I  am in a small percentage of those patients who can tolerate this drug without the reported serious side effects.  Therefore I would recommend that the patient be very cautious before beginning treatment.  This drug has changed my life completely."
