I’m on tegretol and I take it every 12 hours along with my other 3 medications which I probably don’t have to take as long as tegretol I take my meds twice a day which is easy for me x x

Nada, please don’t say that. I have been told that all my life by others. It has taken many years to overcome that negativity.
