I would have to agree with getting in to the p-doc sooner than three weeks! Tegretol is one tough med, and it should always be introduced slowly, and exceptionally slow when augmenting those other dosages of meds you were/are on. In reality, when Tegretol is initiated, you should be going in for blood tests, and receiving feedback on what those results are. I want to really encourage you to get an appointment in the next couple days, or see someone on-call if that's what it takes to get an open ear. I've been knocked flat on my butt by Tegretol, and that was at 300 mgs. It's not irrational for you to want answers, and it's not irrational for you to request an appointment in light of the symptoms you are experiencing. How are you suppose to function? Keep us updated on any developments or questions.
