Tegretol - side effects

Posted by Jackster on April 1, 2002, at 3:51:38

I'm on 40mg of Paxil and 1mg of Xanax per day. The paxil has pooped out - and my pdoc has augmented it with Tegretol. I was on 200mg a day and had no problem with the side effects. After a blood test the pdoc put me onto 300mg of tegretol and after about 2 weeks the side effects were intolerable. I had constant headaches, nausea bordering on vomiting and stomach cramps. I stopped taking the tegretol (because I was on holiday) for about 3 days and felt fine. Has anyone else had this experience with tegretol? From my understanding it's not a huge dose - maybe I should titrate more slowly?

Any advice appreciated
Jackie
