Inability to concentrate, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness,

effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist
promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because
he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the

serious side effects.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but
serious side effects occur:
- increase in seizure activity
- confusion/trouble thinking clearly
- difficulty forming sentences
- depression

This medication rarely may cause mood or behavior changes, such
as anxiety, agitation, hostility, pressured/rapid speech, or
thoughts of suicide. Tell your doctor immediately if you develop
unusual (possibly sudden) mood changes.
Seek immediate medical attention if you get a seizure that
doesn't stop (status epilepticus). This is a very rare but very
serious side effect.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but
seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a
serious allergic reaction may include:
