New postby headache72 on Thu Mar 12, 2009 10:53 pm

I am 22 yr old female going to college and am on carbatrol suppose to be taking 200 mg both morning and night I get way too dizzy to be taking that much both times so I was told to take 100 in the morning and 200 at night that didnt help so im suppose to be going back and forth between 200 at night and 100 at night every other night. Im now getting a headache only on my right side of my head and nothing I do is helping me I dont know what else to do.

I had a full exam a while ago. Like a year or two ago i dont remember how long this has been going on. He said I was fine but sent me to have a MRI and a sleep deprived EEG done they were normal. I then went back for my 6 month check up and nothing had really changed so he sent me for another sleep deprived EEG. It also came back normal. I just went back for another 6 month check up. He had me do the walking test thing(tip toes, heel to toe, normal) had me touch his finger and then my nose with both hands, he looked in my eyes with a special light thing. said i was fine and then sent me to do blood work all was fine. I couldnt get rid of the dizziness with the 200mg so he said to go to the 100mg again all the time and the headaches go away for the most part but still get some once in a while. thanks for taking the time to read and reply
