Hey there,
I am having mixed episodes myself and am going to the doctor tomorrow. I am more depressed and my anxiety and agitation is high. It's like my brain is misfiring and I can't function but I sure can beat myself up and feel worthless, etc.
I was given advice to try Tegretol and wondered what you meant by having a rough time with the dosage increase? Thanks and I hope you are having a good day today.
