I was recently in the hospital and they changed my meds around and put me on tegretol. I asked about triliptel instead and the pdoc said tegretol was better. Well I have gone through horrid side effects with tegretol and the nausea and dizziness still persist some and it has been almost a month since i started the med. It seems to be working well for me and it is hard to find a med that works but i HATE this med!!
My pdoc said she MIGHT be willing to try triliptel in December, once i get stabilized and i "get my feet under me".
I have heard that triliptel works just as well as tegretol, has anyone found that to be true? I also wanted to ask about the side effects of tegretol, when do they wear off? Will I have to go through side effects when it is increased (my pdoc said it will have to be increased a few months down the line)?
Tegretol works great for me but the side effects are horrid and makes me wonder if the med is worth it.
Thank you
