<font color="purple">Well the tegretol (carbamazepine) landed me at the hospital with an allergic reaction.... alon with a non related cold like infection which was intensified tho by the reaction.... I was advised to immediately stop taking the tegretol , giving anitbiotics for infection, benedryl for allergy symptoms, and blood test to confirm the reaction...... so tuesday its back to doc and most likely a new treatment plan...... really am not upset though b/c as I have stated many times I wasnt happy about being on the tegretol... </font>
