I'm into my 3rd week on 75mg. I started on 25mg at night for 3 weeks then went up to 50mg a day...it was rough but not this rough.
It's for bipolar after trying all other stabilising meds...I'm stopping at 100mg daily.
Tegretol worked up to a point as long as I avoided everthing and everyone.If you can remember the feeling before an exam or public speech..this is what it feels like all the time. Knotted stomache , hard to eat ( no wonder it's a good diet drug) diahrrea, jumpy. I'm uncertain whether to continue taking it to find out if it's just start up side effect or stop before I explode or implode.
It's pointless asking my pdoc because I'm his first patient he's prescribed it to ( I'm in sunny UK)Any input would be appriciated,
