Hi its me again, i have been taking Ethosuximide now for two days and i have benefited with some improvemnts. Firstly i do not have the fuzzy head, which sometimes made me feel confused and difficult to concentrate, due to the absences. I can now concentrate a lot better and get tasks done a lot quicker, whoopie!!. This is after a short period of time taking the tablets. However, im feeling more tired in the evenings, a little tongue tied and slightly dizzy at times but nothing frightening. I have also found it hard to grip a pen and write, although i can concentrate more its more difficult to focus if that makes sense. Well thats it for now i will update you somemore in a few days or so....D

Hi, Its me again, I,ve been naughty and haven't been taking the medication as i should, i have missed everal doses this is due to stresses of work and forgetting. However there is some great improvements in my condition, i can think more clearly and my work at work has improved in ways of getting more done, which is a big relief. I must state that the side effects I have noticed have been blurred visions, I know my eye sight was bad before but it has been worse since taking the meds. Another problem i feel is asscociated with the meds are pains in my joint, in my fingers, elbows and legs, it really hurts. So im going to make an appointment regarding this. One thing I must say which is important, I had a few drinks (alcohol) for my birthday and the old feelings of confusion, memory loss and absences where on a vengence the next day so be careful on that matter.

Hi, I think im the only person on this site. well heres my up date. I've been naughty and have take myself off this medication, this is due to joint pains. My reason, is in my job i work within a very busy environment on computers and need to type on a daily basis. My finger joints really hurt and i'v been struggling to type, so without the advice from my GP i stopped taking them. I didn't have the time to consult with my GP. I promise when i see him i will update you all.

Is there any one reading this site and can i ask, the people running this site can you give some acknowledgement that you or someone is reading these views, im not an attention seeker, but what im reporting is important and i have not had any response. can i also ask how many hits have you had....
