You mentioned you are taking a time-release formula - would that be Tegretol XR or Carbatrol?
I've taken Tegretol for over 10 yrs. I've taken Tegretol non-time-release, and Tegretol XR and Carbatrol (these last 2 are both time-release but different formulations and brands).
My side effects happened when starting out, or when upping the dose - always went away in a week or so, or by lowering the dose.
The only time I had NAUSEA, was from Carbatrol brand time-release version. Never from Tegretol immediate or Tegretol XR timed-release.
Your side effects sound severe - can you call your doctor and let him know what's going on?
Hope things get better soon.

> Its only been 4 days but for the first time my anxiety has gone down so much. I had diarrhea so bad that I bled from my anus (Ok thats probably too much information) and the nausea is really bad. Thats actually my question, what can i do for the nausea? I cant do anything because everytime i move i feel like vomitting. Can anyone suggest a medication that will stop this? Ive tried Maxelon(sp?) and stemitil and they dont work the only thing that does help is Ativan but then i feel all sleepy afterwards. I just want to suggest something to my doctor. Also, how long will the nausea last? 1 week? 2 weeks? I dont think i could stay on this medication if the nausea being this bad stays which is a shame because its working so great already I think which is unusual for me. So yea any info please would be great. Thank you all so much and take care.
