New trial - Tegretol. Please help.

Posted by Cindylou on September 8, 2002, at 13:55:59

Hi all,
I feel I've been a big pest lately. No help to anyone, just asking a bunch of questions. But I'm really struggling lately.

The newest trial is Tegretol -- I just stopped Geodon because I couldn't tolerate more than 20 mg. and it seemed to be making the depression and agitation worse instead of better.

I have tried virtually everything out there (Zyprexa, Risperdal, SSRIs, SNRIs, stims, benzos, blah blah blah.) I am very med-sensitive and cannot tolerate high doses.

SO, onto Tegretol. My questions:

- can it help agitation and anxiety?
- can it help depression?
- will it zonk me out, like Zyprexa, Risperdal, Librium, and Lithium did? (and many others?)
- I am starting at 100 mg. at night. Should I cut the dose in half?

I also take Klonapin for anxiety as needed; about 1-2 mg. daily.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
