Two days ago I ran out of medication and
due to complications and events I simply
couldn't find the time to get more
tablets. I was surprised to find out that
I felt great, super, ... Then this
morning I went to fetch more tablets and
took half a tablet in the morning. This
afternoon I haven't been feeling as good
as I was in the last two days.
Is it true that tegratol can also lead to
attacks, and if so what are the chances or
statistics of this happening
thanx! Robert from slovenia!
Some details:
in june 1994 I had an accident mountain
climbing. A year and three months later I
had my first attack. Since then I have
been taking tegratol cr, which I have been
cutting down slowly as time goes on.
Currently i'm taking 1/2 a tablet in the
morning and half in the evening (of 400mg
tablets) at the most. I'm doing pretty
well and the aura effects or feelings are
also becomming less and less. I have
about three to four attacks a year,
sometimes less. Great mall attacks!

One study in 39 children (aged 3 to 10
years) and 79 adults (aged 15 to 65 years)
has indicated that carbamazepine
elimination may be slightly enhanced in
children. This data only suggests that
children may require higher doses of
carbamazepine (in mg/kg) than adults.
In case of exacerbation of seizures
(becoming more sharp or severe),
carbamazepine should be discontinued. A
tolerance may develop to the action of
carbamazepine after a few months of
treatment and should be watched for.
