RE: [epilepsy] Constipation a side effect?

 

Hi

Yes I believe it is a side effect, I am on tegretol and have
problems with constipation. I am also in a wheelchair so
that possibly doesn't help.

Regards

Adrien

Subject: [epilepsy] Constipation a side effect?

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.
