Hi,
Zeptol is a brand name for carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant medication that is also used to treat certain mental health conditions such as anxiety and bipolar disorder. It medicine works by reducing the abnormal electrical brain activity.
Some common side effects of Zeptol include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and dry mouth. More serious side effects include allergic reactions, liver problems, decreased white blood cell count, and risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior.
It is important to talk to your doctor about your concerns and any side effects you may experience while taking Zeptol. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or switch to a different medication if necessary. It is also important to take Zeptol exactly as prescribed and not to stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation may cause seizures or other withdrawal symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
