I am on a Tegretol trial and I got stuffy nose. Did anybody get it and does it go away with time? If it does not go away, it won't be a livable side effect for me, so I am trying to figure out how long to stay on the trial. Thanks.

Are you sure it's not a cold? It is that time of year.

Yes, I am sure, as I have a very good immunity (I was last sick in early 2013) and as I have no other symptoms of a cold (I do not feel miserable).

It got better though, so I am hopeful that the side effect will pass and I will be able to stay on Tegretol. Lithium and Depakote came with very severe side effects, so Tegretol is the remaining MS and I like to think that I will be able to tolerate it.

I got a stuffy nose at first with seroquel it went away but it was really annoying. I used nose spray for a while.

My physician assistant recommended flonase, and I will get it if this does not improve further. Thanks for the answer and I am glad that yours went away.

I've heard of a few psych meds causing this. I won't try trazadone again because of it. Who can sleep when you can't breathe out of your nose? So annoying. And the cold med mucinex does it to me too. Strange.

Thanks for this!
