It is an adjunct anti-epileptic. It effects GABA in a positive way.
Has anybody done a "good" look at your neck? The vertebral artery is known to cause problems with the eighth cranial nerve that connects to the ear. One of the articles refers to 0.3 millimeter slices needed for the MRI to image the problem.
Do a google for "cranial nerves, vertebra" You will find some good information.
I have a problem with inflammation in the brain stem causing problems. For me, it effects the autonomic nervous system and causes me to stop breathing.
Maybe you have a problem in the neck too.
Good luck with this problem.

Ah, that's good to know. I seen my neurologist and I definitely don't have Myoclonus. Although my Eustachian tubes are abnormal I don't have constant twitching. They questioned PCS but didn't come to a conclusion. They offered me Ambien?!?!!? I haven't had any luck with immetrex either. I had some CT scan slices taken today. They said a CT scan can pick on tissue abnormalities as well as bone fractures and such.
It gets better.... I suffered a massive allergy attack a few days after my head injury and that is when the ear problems started. I had severe conjunctivitis which I had treated immediately. I tried and tried to get help from ENT's and they've done a lot of help, but still no results. Its really hard to believe an allergy attack could causes ones ear to plug for four years straight plus cause constant headaches, fatigue, etc.
I'll keep you updated.
