I am in palliative care and as my friends say "legally high" I seem to recall tegretol being worse than opiates , cops have guns with there own guns , I have post it pads with post its of there own, these days I am airhead because of brain injury, but the tegretol was like drinking a bottle of tequilla BID, the directions should be like drink one shot ever four minutes until you forget how many you have had , lose track of glass and finish bottle . And a few times I remember doing typical drunk things if my level got to high complete with slurred speech , failing down and wetting yourself like it was cool ,going to the hospital and being asked how much you drank ? Until the blood work came back with no alcohol but "plenty" of tegretol and then your "fine go home and sleep it off" neutologist always had fun trying to figure out what exactly caused your level to get too high, one I remeber never take an anti convulsant with a Proton pump inhibitor like Prilosec, you have to take a crazy amount to get the same result and then if you stop taking the proton pump inhibitor your level becomes toxic , lessons learned !
