I Have Stammering And Pain In Shoulder Joints After Treatment For Epilepsy. What Medication Should I Take To Get Rid Of This ?

Hi, I was using medicines(Eptoin) for Epilepsy over the past few years and the course of medication is complete now. I was given Tegretol(Tegrital) earlier. I stopped taking Eptoin about 3 months ago. I stammer when I speak. So, I doubt this may be the side effect of these medicines. Also, I have some pain in the shoulder joints . Please advise a remedy. Any food intake suggestions that help me get rid of all this?
