Question 3

Can anxiety disorders (like social anxiety)cause misophonia?
or could it be a side effect of carbamazepine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'd think it quite possible for anxiety disorders to cause extreme discomfort associated w/ sound and, 
That medications can cause irritability which would make you even more intolerant. Also, in very rare cases hearing oddities can be a side effect - i.,e. pitch perception, ringing, etc. Talk w/ the doctor about it. Best!

Question 5

Take many meds like tegretol and prozac. i have very vivid dreams is this a side effect of seizure/anxiety meds? if yes why do the crazy dreams happen

Accepted Answer

Talk w/ your Dr about these experiences. Both your conditions and the medication could be involved and hopefully you can get back to sleep to avoid a deficit. There are various theories about dream content and none are certain. Brain activity responds to the electro-chemistry and it generates images that we can interpret   thru our life history. Talk about it and try not to worry.

Question 6

Carbamazepine 400mg bd, keppra 2000mg bd 4 ms related seizuressevere ptsd, anxiety, depression from new neuropath pain prob. every ssi antidepressant gives me long qt interval or decrease seizure threshold. brintillex 20mg now but still struggling?

Accepted Answer

Multiple medications can prolong the QT interval, but truly unlikely to result in arrhythmias in vast majority of cases.  As long as your anti epileptic medications are within therapy levels, there should be no adverse outcomes from your antidepressants.  Your emotional issues are best addressed in part by a cognitive-behavioural therapy approach.  Medications alone may be only partially helpful.

Has been successfully used in treating trigeminal neuralgia, and later used in epilepsy.  Is not a broad spectrum anti-epileptic and makes absence and myoclonic seizures worse.

So the short answer is yes, but different SSRIs inhibit different parts of the bodies drug breakdown mechanism. Thus, some will increase the levels more than others. Also everyone is a bit different. It is like that lexapro (escitalopram) has the least interactions in this way.
