This is not unusual.

I can't answer that question. I believe that the sedation can persist with some people.
If the fatigue and sleepiness persist with Tegretol, you can look into using Trileptal as a substitute. The two drugs are related, and Trileptal is less apt to produce sedation. Just be sure to check your sodium levels occasionally with this drug. Occasionally, they can become too low.
