I have recently gone of epilim which I was taking for bipolar II. I suffered from nightmares, weightgain, tremors and hair loss. It was very rocking emotionally coming off the medication, I have been completely off for one week now and I would like to know how long before it will be completely out of my system, the hair loss is severe and continuing, will it grow back?
Hi, Epilim intake can result in common side effects that are mild and exists for short span. It includes:- Nausea or vomiting, changes in appetite and weight, diarrhea-Bleeding, tender or enlarged gums-Irregular menstrual cycle and abdominal cramps-Brain symptoms like headache, TREMORS, dizziness, unsteadiness when walking, rapid eye movements, depression, aggression and agitation, confusion, lack of attention etc.- HAIR LOSS and nail disorders. Your symptoms are due to the tablets intake and if they increase you have to consult your doctor and make sure you should not discontinue the medication without your doctor approval in the future. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
