6. History of any clinical condition which may affect the absorption and metabolism of the drug e.g. ulcerative colitis or gastrointestinal disease.
7. Major surgery of the gastrointestinal tract, the liver or kidney 6 months prior to randomization which may affect the pharmacokinetics of Felbamate
8. Abnormal hematologic function defined as â??
Absolute Neutrophil Count <= 1500 cells/mm3
Platelet count <=100,000/mm3

20. Participation in any other investigational drug study within 30 days prior to randomization
21. History of any significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, neurologic, endocrine dysfunction, inflammatory bowel disease or any other condition which in the opinion of the investigator, may put the patient at risk because of participation in the study
