My son has been on tegretol xr for 10
years. He's 16. He is being weaned
of the medication. What should we
expect? He is reducing his dose now.
He says he's feeling funny, kind of
moody and drawn out, feeling of chills
inside, distant. Is this normal??

Sorry I have been away and just saw this.
How is your son now? Hoping he is ok. I
have read that tegretol is a tough one to
wean, especially after taking it so long.
Hoping you can get him off and see no
seizures!!
Mood swings, change in activity level
(more active or less), are a couple of
things I have seen in weans....
Best wishes!
