Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

You had problem of getting unconscious for few seconds and doctor has prescribed you zeptol or carbamazepine 600 mg per day. Most likely doctor has suspected some form of seizure disorder in you and carbamazepine is a broad spectrum anti epileptic drug. It is a safe drug when used as per proper prescription. Few side effects as skin rashes, decrease in blood count etc are serious but are also rare. Common side effects as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness etc are seen but usually go with time. So there is no need to worry and continue to take medicines as your doctor has prescribed.

Thanks

Psychologist Dr. K. V. Anand's  Response
Dear
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concern.
Human body is a well manicured machine.
Like computer, it needs restarting when its memory power is outclassed.
For human brain is a mega super computer, normal events cannot make it hang it like a normal computer.
But Stress and anxiety makes it forget its potential and for the time being it restarts.
So don't worry about being unconscious. Watch your stress and anxiety level.
Yoga and meditation can help you in regaining body metabolism and streamlining the mind.
Psychotherapy can streamline your lifestyle.
Both together will strengthen your body and mind to overcome difficulties.
Wish you speedy recovery.
