Tegretol - anyone take it?
 

i was just prescribed it, gunna fill it tomorrow...i am crazy, i already knew that...but anyone else take it?

I heard that is effective.

just heard of it...havent heard too much about it though just the name mostly

I've heard its somewhat effective for penile longevity issues, but I've never needed it, good luck.

one of the side effects can be wicked bad headaches which could go on for up to 3 weeks until your body adjusts to the medication so be prepared.... :disgust

My Dad has been taking it for many years now. According to him it has been working pretty well.

That?s pretty serious medication used for neurological disorders and epilepsy

I was prescribed it once but after reading the box with all the potential side affects, I threw it in the bin.

I had a tooth removed once and the pain was still there two weeks later, couldn?t sleep at all, it was hell, I went to some quack for a second opinion about the pain and she prescribed that thinking that i had some neurological thing going on lol

We wife was prescribed it after she had two epileptic attacks 4 years ago, she never had any noticeable side affect from it (she is a bit more tired than usual and her skin is a bit more sensible to the sun) and at least the epileptics attacks never came back.

you have to take into consideration that if you do have side effects they usually only last 2-3 weeks. also when they test those drugs with a panel of people, if they get the flu and happen to feel nauseas and throw up due to the flu, they will put that down as a side effect.

Have a friend on it for seizures, and its one of those drugs where you HAVE to be responsible to get the labwork to make sure the drug levels in your blood are correct!

i use to take it.

i am now off it.

i am scheduled for lab tests 2 weeks after I start taking it, which is tonight..i just filled the prescription today

i am on 400mg every night before bed for manic episodes :)

i will keep an eye out for the headaches...any solution for them? does excedrin work?
