You are beginning to feel a little GUILTY that you haven't started the Teg. yet, and your doctor WANTS you to! :) Weren't you prescribed 400mg/day to start? Did the doctor write for the plain Tegretol (carbamazepine)? Hmmm. if so, you COULD take just 1/4 the dose.. 50mg twice a day-get out thou pill chopper! Quarter them things and just test the water a bit, no need to dive in 100%. Compromise, you know, politics!
