Another FDA Warning
The AP reported: "Federal health officials warned doctors Monday that a drug used in epilepsy patients can cause chemical imbalances in the blood, leading to heart problems and other serious complications."

Such an "imbalance can cause breathing difficulties, irregular heart rhythms and fatigue."
