Hey all. Thanks heaps for everyones suggestions on the last post im sorry i havent replied to the messages its just because ive been so sick. Ive decided to stop tegretol. Mainly because the nausea wont go away, im starting to get palputations and other funny things with my heart, my resting pulse rate is 120+ BPM, my memory has gone and ive lost my ability to spell properly lol. All from 400mg per day!!!! And Im on the control release formular arghhh. Dont know what to do now. I guess ill just stay on the Depakote for a while now my doc is on holidays. Im going to ask for Klonopin from my local doc for sleep, is that good for sleep? Xanax no longer works for me dont know what else to try (tried Ambien (stilnox here in Australia). Id love to try Lunesta but we dont have that in Aus yet. And i dont want to go on an antipsychotic because I do have tardive dyskinesia in my mouth and im really freaking out that it wont go away. Thats from being on Zyprexa for 6 months or so on but ive been on antipsychotics for years, but yea i guess thats a warning it can and DOES happen on the atypicals no matter how much your psychatrist tries to tell you its rare (I know 2 other people that have it too from atypicals). Anyway thanks again and take care.
