How are you doing now? I hope you are ok.

I had a reaction to tegretol as well, and fortunately there were no lasting side-effects. Unfortunately there is no knowing until tried, and glad this episode is behind me.

Luckily, I'm doing ok on Tegretol. I take 600 mg and it hasn't tried to kill me yet. Just makes me very sleepy.
I'm glad your doing ok.

Glad you're okay! The frustrating aspect of these kinds of drugs is that what works well for one person can be poison for somebody else.
