Thank you both. The Tegretol is for BP disorder. I wasn't aware of that side effect, but I have only been on it for 6 months. They switched me from Geodon to that one because of the weight gain and anxiety side effects. The joint and back pain before it, but it definitely has gotten worse since so that is definitely something to look into. I am awake now due to the pain. I feel like my body is attacking me. Everything is hurting right now especialy low back and right fingers.
