Does anyone take Tegretol as their mood stabilizer? Anyone take the extended version? Do you take any other meds with it?
My doc gave me samples of Equetro (extended Tegretol) in 100mg and 200mg capsules. Wants me to start slow since I am "med sensitive".
Took 100mg last night, didn't really notice anything except for a little stomach gurgling (but I can stand to lose some weight).
She wants me to go slow and try it every other night, then every night, then go up to 200mg at night in order to avoid side effects. But I'm wondering if I really need to go that slow because I really didn't notice anything?
I didn't take my 50mg of Seroquel last night, just my .5mg Klonopin. I did toss and turn a little. I thought Tegretol would have knocked me out more.
Is it ok to take Tegretol, Seroquel and Klonopin together? My doc thinks that eventually I can stop the Seroquel.
