What Are The Positive And Negative Effects You Have Had Of Taking Tegretol?

My good friend is sleeping way too much on it. Does your body get used to it, or is it a "your body can't tolerate it" or not?

Hi Sweetnsimple. I get about 10 hours of sleep depending on when I go to bed. I wrote to you elsewhere to ask for your number again. I lost it, again!

After a while your body gets used to it. You'll still be a bit sleepy but enough to function without feeling dizzy.

I agree with Alexandra when I was on tegretol, I was very sluggish and couldn't stay awake for too long, I also was very angry at the people around me for the slightest things.

I had more negative than positive side effects happened to me on tegretol, I would say its wise to give it a miss.

Hi Readman - You noticed that, huh? I've just been so busy with stupid little things. Calling/Writing the doctors for me and my son to make appointments, ask questions, or fix some billing question. Figuring out where I/my son can get flu shots and COVID boosters. Chasing after my case manager to submit all my info to SSDI for my application. Answering the crazy amounts of emails that come in. Dealing with all the people in my life who have cancer. Talking with friends on the phone. I don't know. The list goes on and on, so I just put this on the back burner. I'm away and my husband is still sleeping, so I thought I'd catch up here.

What's going on with you? Are you enjoying pumpkin time?
