Multiple sclerosis patient, taking Glatira with Zeptol. Feel dizzy after stopping Zeptol. What to do ?
Patient: Hi i am a Multiple sclerosis patient and i have been taking Glatira along with zeptol Cr 300 for close to an year ...and recently about 2 months back i have left zeptol, but now i feel very dizzi, so my doctor asked me to start of with Zeptol cr 200 but i have taking 300 mg ....is it advisable like that ...as i feel very very dizzi, and i feel i may fall down any time....so can you please suggest me Doctor: Hi,Thank you for posting your query.Zeptol CR (carbamazepine) is a drug used for treating epilepsy (fits) and nerve pain. So, if you have any of these symptoms, zeptol cr may be continued. If not, there is no need to continue this medicine. Dizziness is a known side effect of zeptol cr.Please get back if you require any additional information.Best wishes,Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology)Senior Consultant NeurologistApollo Hospitals, Hyderabad,My personal URL on this website:  http://bit.ly/Dr-Sudhir-kumar My email: drsudhirkumar@yahoo.com
