Could Falling Unconscious And Fuzzy Thoughts Be The Side Effects Of Nervup Tablets (for Meningitis)?

hi! i m smita. During my pregnancy in nov 2008 i got a fever, intially was thought of like a normal fever. but i couldn't come out of that fever and was admitted in the hospital. it was not a normal fever, it was meningitis. in medical terms multiple tuberculomas in brain. my recovery is very slow and still i m taking treatments, now doctor says only 6 months you'll have to take the tablets. but as years passed some other problems have also arrised. This year when doctor said last stage, i was detected with vertigo. side by side i took other treatments also, like homeopathy, ayurvedic. as a result of all of this, i was feeling somewhat better. but in the last meeting with my doctor, he gave me tablet Nervup*OD. I started the tablets 4 days ago. n from last 4 days i m the same again, feats. i can' say exactly feats, but i get unconsious, and after that i start to forget things, everything becomes messy. i m not clear whether it is because of this new tablet. My other tablets are, eptoin 100mg(3), Zefretol 400mg(2) n vertizac 60mg (2). Please suggest

Hi Ms Smita,

Thank you for posting your query.

Fot brain tuberculosis, at least 18 months of medications are required. In some cases, longer duration of treatment is needed. However, TB is fully curable with medications.

Your current symptoms are also seizures (a type of fits), and not a side effect of nerve up Od, as nerve up OD is a vitamin supplement. So, your medication for fits would need to be adjusted. These medications interact with TB medications, so, you may be better off with levetiracetam. Please discuss this with your neurologist.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
