Re: [epilepsy] Constipation a side effect?

 

Mark,

Yes, digestive issues are common with most AED meds. If it is a
consistent problem I would call you epileptologists nurse/medical
assistant and mention it. It is possible to get something that will
counteract that problem. I am a firm believer in not suffereing side
effects that can be managed or changed.

> I was wondering if anyone has had trouble with constipation as a side effect of their meds. It's kinda embarrassing to talk about, but I think that seems to be the case with me. I didn't think about bringing it up at my last appointment with my epileptologist, but I didn't think it was that necessary to mention anyway. Should I call the doctor and mention it? Do some of the meds have constipation as a side effect? I take Keppra and Lamictal, FYI.
