The Journey of 17 + years with FND
After two years and numerous Dr.s that did much more harm than good, I finally had a breakthrough from my internist who started me on
Tegretol
an anti-seizure drug. The lights flickered, as each dose increased I became stronger.

What's going on?
These incidents don't seem to relate to anything and as he takes
Tegretol
it seems odd that he may be having some kind of seizure. He 's not happy about going to the GP because he doesn't want to jeopardise his driving license. It only happens at night and it's fairly infrequent .

Should I give my new medication a try?
So, should I try my medication klonopin and
tegretol
that I was prescribed but did so much research on on read side effects and eventually just scared myself out of taking medication and going to therapy?

Many years later
He takes Fluorxitine, quetioprine,
tegretol
( as he has had fits) and injects growth hormone daily as it was discovered about five years ago his levels were only 20%. CBT hasn't helped.

Teporal Lobe Epilepsy
My 1200mg per day of
tegretol
received an extra daily prescription of 1.5mg of Clonazepam, an insomniac sleeping tablet to supress the side effects of the
tegretol
. After 6 months the fatigue from the sleeping tablets was intensifying the
tegretol
, and creating heavy sleep loss.

Is it ok to take this medication all together?
I was just wondering whether it is safe for me to be taking 200mg
tegretol
twice a day along with 200mg sertraline, 150mg thyroxine and occasionally 3.75-7.5mg zopiclone?

Does anyone take Amitriptyline during the day?
I currently take it in the evening - 35mg at the moment at 7pm with Lyrica and a couple of hours later,
Tegretol
- the combination makes me nice and dozy and my skin less sensitive.
