Tegretol question

Posted by Holli-Anne on November 19, 2004, at 21:44:09

Hi Y'all
ive been on REmeron with Trazadone and Tegretol for about 8 months now. Just recently i've been feeling very spaced. I cannot seem to focus my eyes on anything or read without placing a ruler under what I am reading. Also, i have been in three fender benders in a week, but previously had never had an accident. any suggestions as to what is causing this?

Are you getting regular blood tests making sure your blood tegretol level isn't too high? I get double vision if I take too much or take doses too close together. I don't know about your other meds, sorry!

I got really bad blurry vision from Trileptal (Teg's new cousin)-had major difficulty reading traffic signs. But you said you just starting feeling really spacey. Tell your doc about it and get your Teg levels, sodium level, and a liver panel done to be on the safe side. Your teg level could be too high.
