...with side effects like weight gain, hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, tiredness and tremor. Also in rare cases people can develop liver damage and pancreatitis.

I've known of people on it who lost most of their hair (though it eventually grew back in, and very curly at that), and/or got the sh*ts so bad they'd lose it anywhere and everywhere. There are many people who take it and have no problems but I wouldn't try it...there are plenty of other anticonvulsants out there.
