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.
