> I'm currently on Tegretol 800 mg. My doc wanted me to take 1000mg, but the farther up we went in dosage, the less I was able to remember who I was. I couldn't go anywhere because I'd often forget where I was and how I got there. I also have trouble remembering words and explaining things. My doc says that I just have to live with the problems, but I had to quit my job because I can't type 1/3rd as fast as I used to and some days I couldn't even remember what my job was. Anyone have any suggestions?
Why does your pdoc insist on the dosage increase? Have you discussed a switch to Trileptal (oxcarbazepine)?
