Honestly, of my meds, Tegretol is not the one I'd choose to increase for help with sleep. I'd talk to your doctor about adding something more appropriate rather than increasing Tegretol against medical advice. Seroquel is what helps my sleep, but I take it according to my psychiatrist's direction.
I've been thinking about seroquel, or just talking to my pdoc about medicine.
