Hi Cindylou,
Hope that info. helped.

On to your followup questions:
1. It was higher doses (600-800mgs. per day range) that helped me with the depression,
2. Split into 3 equal-spaced doses (morning, mid-day & bedtime),
3. Definitely took a bit of time w. me to do its thing (at the start I felt mostly spaced-out, but after about a week and definitely by 2 weeks, it was helping w. anxiety, agitation, and then later it started helping w. depression).

Yes, I still take it (low-dose now). I tried Trileptal, but didn't get much benefit, so went back to Tegretol.

Everyone is different, but with me, when I tried to escalate the dose quickly, I got much too spaced-out and I got bad headaches. What your pdoc says makes sense to me.

Good luck w. the Tegretol,
zero
