Watch for: increased seizure frequency, unusual drowsiness, dizziness, coordination problems, blurred or double vision, tremors, difficulty concentrating, or mood changes. Drug interactions can raise or lower antiepileptic blood levels. When to seek emergency help: Seizure lasting more than 5 minutes, clusters of seizures, difficulty breathing after a seizure, severe rash (especially with fever or blisters), severe dizziness or fainting, or signs of liver problems (yellowing skin, dark urine, severe nausea).
