Anyone here from the UK?

Posted by Jackster on April 15, 2002, at 2:08:00

I'm currently taking Tegretol and am thinking of moving to the UK - can anyone tell me if it's on the NHS over there?

Thanks
Jackie

Yeah, unfortunately.

Hi. Tegretol (carbamazepine) is available over here but principally for epilepsy; UK docs are generally a little reticent to prescribe off label (if that's what you need). If you've already been taking it you shouldn't have any problem in getting a specialist to prescribe it though. You'll just have to take the std blood tests again. I've been offered it recently on the NHS for Bipolar and as an AD augmentor previously.

Oh, bring an umbrella.

Thanks :)

If you think it's rainy there you should live in Auckland! I swear I'm going to see someone building an ark one day. Anyway I've lived in London before so I know all about the super efficient NHS.
