Was put on epilim cr300 900mg/day for severe PTSD after a major trauma. Started experiencing hallucinations and disassociation, sever aggression (could prolly lay killed a person if I had not self control). Chest pains with palpitations, diarrhea and abdominal pains. After 3 weeks I went cold turkey and found the within 7 days I felt calmer and more in control the chest pains took a little longer to disappear but have gone now, headaches are very slight and manageable again.
I will not go back onto any medicat treatment for PTSD or Epilepsy in the foreseeable future.

I needed to increase my epilim dose in order to control my mycolonos attacks and immediately put on half a stone. I also suffer from oedema particularly in the right leg.
