My daughter is being weaned from tegretol.
She started taking the medication at
11mths and is now 5.5yrs old. We began
weaning her on december 20, 2003. About
a week into the weaning process, we
noticed a change in her behavior. Her
school teacher and karate teacher have
also noticed a change. She can become
very agitated, defiant and oppositional.
Is it possible that the change in dosage
is affecting her behavior?

Tegretol affects moods. (it is used, for
example, in bipolar disorder as a mood
stabilizer). Tegretol can also cause the
side effect of depression.
