Used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in conjunction (may be a combination of epinephrine and something else)? Thank you. ## Epinephrine is sometimes used, since it can act as a stimulant, which may boost a failing heart rate. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia. As to EpiCal, are you sure that is the name of it? I haven't been able to find anything under that name.

My husband has recently developed epilepsy and is on epitec 100 . Just want to make sure which pain killers are preferable to take when needed. Or which not to take. Is myprodol or ibupain ok.?? Do they interfere with the epitec. Have heard that some medication can interfere...? ## Rather than just thinking of what may interfere with the Epitec, his overall health and the severity of his epilepsy also need to be taken into consideration, when deciding what medications are safe for him to take. Thus, the best suggestion I can make is that he check with his doctor, before taking anything else. Is Epitec the only medication he is on? Does he have any other health conditions?

Alcohol with epitec: I take 25mg Epitec twice daily. Can I consume a glass of wine on special occasions although I am taking Epitec? ## Drinking alcohol while taking Epitec is not recommended. This medication is reported to contain the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which acts as a central nervous system depressant (as does alcohol). If you really did want a glass of wine then it is highly recommended that you check with your prescribing physician first since they are familiar with your full medical history. While it may be okay to drink a single glass of wine (moderation), it is best not to take a chance without knowing if you are specifically at risk for an interaction.

For the last 3 year I take Wellbutrin 150g at 8 am and Lexamile 20mg with Epitec 300mg at 8 pm every day. I have exelent resalts. I now want to stop with the epitec 300mg. No reason what so ever for this disision. What can Happen? Ria ## I am using the Epitec 100mg it is trouble falling asleep, if my brain doesn t want to switch off Can it be the Epitec that is causing this problem..! ## Ria, have you consulted your doctor? Epitec contains the active ingredient Lamotrigine, which is an anticonvulsant that is also used as a mood stabilizer and suddenly stopping it might cause rebound effects, such as mood swings and convulsions, so it should only be done under medical supervision. And yes, Emma, insomnia is a well known side effect of it. Have you talked to your doctor about the problem?

Hi I am on Epitec 200mg I wake up feeing nauseous and gained weight. I have a rash which is persistent.Please advise.My other medication includes rivertrol Cyprimil renetec and Alcera I have been on Epitec for the past two months should I continue or get weaned off the Epitec ## Have you been experiencing these side effects ever since you started taking Epitec or did they begin with Rivertrol, Cyprimil, Renetec, and Alcera? From what I could gather, the active ingredient found in Epitec (Lamotrigine), can cause a hypersensitivity reaction primarily occurring as a rash. I found a brief mention of it here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1201641/ I would personally suggest weening off of the Epitec, if the rash doesn't go away. Is your doctor aware of the side effects you've been...

Hi, I am currently on EPITEC 200 for Bipolar Depression.. It is a wonderful drug and has helped me alot to get through life. I depend on EPITEC every day because it helps to keep my mood up, gives me confidence in myself. However, I've not picked up any weight for the last few years and it LOOKS like i am dying of hunger..(People worry)…I spoke to my doctor and he said that he will put me on EPILIM.. But, i need to bring my dose down first to 50mg. I am now sitting on my first day where i am down to 100mg and its honestly terrible. Does anyone know what will happen if i suddenly jump to EPILIM? Is there a risk? Also, what do you think of EPILIM? ## I don't have any personal experience with either medication, but apparently loss of appetite and weight loss are b...

My grandma bought me epitrel and it is from Mexico. I do not understand exactly how to use it because it is in Spanish. My acne is about gone but I have scars from it and was told that this is supposed to help. Is this true? How often should I apply it to my face? ## Hi Elizabeth, I can confirm that it is an acne cream, with the US product equivalent called "Retin-A". Epitrel contains the active ingredient Tretinoin; which is mostly used to treat severe acne. The directions say: "Apply a very thin layer, at night, before bed. You only need to use a very small amount. Wash your face in the morning with a good cleanser, then follow with a good moisturizer."

I would like to know if there is a clearinghouse for the discontinued product EpiquinMicro. I would like to find as soon as possible. The replacement does not work for me. ## Hello, Dusty! How are you? No, that is not done with medications. When a manufacturer stops making something, it is generally sold until the supply runs out, then once it's gone, it's gone. If it was recalled, then all of it is removed from the market and no more is sold. I'm sorry that the replacement isn't working for you. Have you discussed the problem with your doctor?
