We tried several drugs for my husband before we hit on Tegretol. He has been on it for four years now and it has literally saved our marriage. It did take awhile to get the right dose going; but it was well worth it.

Tegretol (carbamazepine) for Epilepsy: After being on this medication for seven years I am still having break through seizures. I have now developed lucopenia as I did with Depakote. Now I have to go through the trial and error of finding a new medication.

carbamazepine for Epilepsy: I am 24 years old and have been using this medication for the past 10 years. My dosage has been increased as my body grew. I have found it to control my seizures very well. I had initial fatigue, head aches, but they subsided after the first couple months. The reason I rated it at 9 is because I have not tried any other drugs, primarily for fear of losing the control Tegretol provides currently.

carbamazepine for Bipolar Disorder: This has worked better than any other medicine I have used to treat mania. I only had slight fatigue when starting the medicine but it disappeared after a few weeks.

Tegretol XR (carbamazepine) for Epilepsy: I am a 55 year old male with rare seizures. I have taken regular Tegretol in the past, but didn't like it because of the side effects with fatigue, confusion, and memory loss. I have been on Tegretol XR for the last five and a half months, and have been very pleased. The side effects seem to be much less and allow me to function much more normally.

Tegretol (carbamazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: my son age 5 has used tegretol for the past 6 months for bipolar disorder - it has shown a great improvement in his mood changes and has allowed others to accept him more. if the tegretol is not given we notice a huge mood swing and rage and depression becomes more apparent.

Tegretol XR (carbamazepine) for Epilepsy: I am 41 years old and have epilepsy. I take 1000 mg of tegretol xr and have been seizure free since 12/01. However, the side effects of the tegretol xr(to me) are significant. I have constant exhaustion and have trouble with my hand-eye coordination and memory.

Tegretol XR (carbamazepine) for Epilepsy: My daughter has recently been taking Tegretol XR for the last 2 months. She has had a really good tolerance for this drug with very few side effects and an amazing cut back to her seizures. I prefer this drug to any of the other's she has tried. She is not dopey and still has her wits about her, unlike with the other meds she had been on. Tegretol has been really good for her so far.
