<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>

I was taking trileptal the longer acting form of tegretol, and it caused me many problems, anemia, low wbc, and hypo natrmia, low sodium, she took me off of it. I always wondered why I could never donate blood during that 3 years.
so maybe you are having low wbc white blood count and this is why you got sick...I don't know. I wish you wellness. bizi ps, have you tried lamictal?

I remember once there was one med that made me feel kind of weird for an hour or so after I took it, though I was feeling pretty good most of the time... I told my pdoc that I wanted to stop taking the med. He answered, "So what you're telling me is now that you're feeling good, you want to change everything?" Smart-alecky pdoc! But I did take his point...
Finding the right mix of meds for you is usuallly really time-consuming and frustrating... you just kind of have to take one day, one week at a time, and follow the doctor's direction scrupulously... and be able to call when things don't go right. You guys hang in there.... it will get better! DJ
