I have been taking Epigran for epilepsy since a month, but now I feel that my life has come to an end and sometimes I want to harm myself. Is it because of the medicine? What should I do?

Though uncommon, Epigran may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior. Sometimes, it can also be due to the disease itself. You should immediately consult your doctor who will consider discontinuing Epigran. We recommend that you take the help of your friend or relative to go to the hospital.
