I just heard B 12 injections contraindicate with AEDs I do a lot of research but didn't know this one ! There's a risk of becoming Anaemic so get your iron levels tested if you're on B12 and need to take Anti convulsants as well.

Yes I'm beginning to think it's just the drugs I take Lamictal generic name Lamotrogine (which I can't take) and a small dose of Frisium generic name Clobazam (again I can't take)

I'll check with the GP when I'm in, which is frequently ! I'll do my own research first though !!!!

I'm not quite so concerned now. I'll talk to my GP who'll ask me what I think and we'll probable agree on a blood test for iron level.

Great thank you
