I am.....I take it for a while and being type A.....not seeing any change in symptoms...I will think about the side effects...weight gain...and the fact that it is an anti-seizure med....and quit taking it. I'm just so leery about taking a med that hasn't conclusively pinpointed my problem.
As far as the hernia which was mentioned....a gp did suggest that it might be that. I don't recall doing any kind of lifting that created a strain or any pain. I also am not tender in that area, and it just doesn't seem logical...but what does these days.
