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.

Thanks all for your help. Just one more med that works for some and not others.

I took tegritol when i was younger and i hqd a serious allergic reaction to it
