Frisium.Clobazam(10mg) and Phenobarb(30mg)

Wed, 10/05/2016 - 01:31
I have been taking phenobarb for the past 30 years (60mg). Lately, have asked my doctor to switch the medication. He has prescribed for Frisium/Clobazam (10mg) and phenobarb (30mg). He would like to wean down the phenobarb at an later stage. Its been 6 months and I feel, am falling asleep in a matter of minutes. Also, my memory has gone down a little. Familiar names, find it hard to recall instantly. Am seizure free before and after the switch. Am worried of the side effects. Already by bones have thinned out. Appreciate your comments
