Hi,
* Long term intake of tegretal can be a cause of receptor desensitization which are controlling GABA and other neurotransmitters at the brain level, which affect the seizure threshold.
* She requires an alteration in antiepileptic drugs after discussion with her treating physician.
Vomiting needs tablet Ondansetron ( 4 mg ) to be taken on an empty stomach with sips of water 3 times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
