EPILEPSY and dry mouth
I have miclonic juvenile epilepsy from past 12 years. I was taking Valprin chrono 300 mg once a day. Two years back i consulted a doctor and chnged my medicine to Keppra 500mg twice a day as i was having a baby. Now, from past 2 months i have dry mouth and tongue. I have consulted general physician , ENT and dentist. But not got any relief from any of their medicines. I have taken multivitamins etc. I am feeding my one year old baby also. CBC and Diabetes is also normal. Now, i want to ask is this a side effect of Keppra 500mg or i am feeding my baby thats why i have dry mouth? I am having 3-4 litres of water everyday.
If keppra is the reason for dry mouth then what should i take to stop it?
