Antiepileptic drugs induced fatigue: a multidisciplinary management.
... Since fatigue may be a side effect of AEDs, the degree to which patients develop fatigue differs from drug to drug, with incidence for some AEDs up to 30% [6]. Fatigue is classified as “peripheral” or “central” depending on which processes and systems are involved [7]. A depression of the central ne ...
