My pdoc is wanting to put me on Tegratol for sleep and I was wondering if anyone here takes it or has taken it. If so, did it help with sleep?

Hi there,
I take 800mg of tegretol per day to help with my seizure disorder, epilepsy. I haven't found it to help with sleep at all, but that's just my personal experience with the medication. (I'm additionally on 500mg of seroquel to help me with sleep!) Best of luck to you.  I hope that if you do try this medication, it works well.

yep it worked for quite a long time. then it started taxing my liver so my pdoc switched me to sinequan. fyi, that's why liver profiles are needed from time to time...not to worry.
