Hi,
I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone here had heard of treating trich with tegretol. If so, please be kind enough to tell me more. I'd particularly like to hear about the subject's age, duration of trich, age of onset, other meds tried, efficacy, dosage, etc.
I have had trich since age 9, as well as clinical depression. Am currently taking Celexa 20 mg which does nothing whatsoever to alleviate my trich. Have also tried Prozac, Serzone, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Zoloft.
It has been suggested to me by a doctor and friend that because of the link between trich and tourettes/impulse control disorders that trich may in fact be the result of small frontal lobe seizures. Accordingly, he feels that tegretol may be a viable choice.
Would love to hear any and all input.
Thanks,
Tracy
