User Reviews for Carbatrol

Carbatrol (carbamazepine) for Epilepsy: I've been using this for 5 years now, no side effects.

Carbatrol (carbamazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: Had a hard time putting thoughts together.

Carbatrol (carbamazepine) for Epilepsy: Dizziness for a couple of days as I adjusted to it then again had dizziness for a couple of days as dosage was later increased to 1200mg per day. Slept well, but was tired early and required going to bed about an hour earlier. Took for five years. Unfortunately it did not eliminate all seizures. Had several absence seizures requiring that I change medication.

Carbatrol (carbamazepine) for Dystonia: I have been taking Carbatrol 200mg for 13 years and I can only pin point me being tired from the medicine. When I take it like prescribed I do not have any episodes.

Carbatrol (carbamazepine) for Trigeminal Neuralgia: Like a previous commenter, I have been suffering from Trigeminal neuralgia for years but thought I had dental issues. I even had a root canal that I didn't need. Then my pain moved into my face and I've been miserable since. I found tremendous relief on Carbatrol, but developed a severe allergic reaction to it and had to be taken off it. Now I take Gabapentin, and today my doctor added Lyrica and I can't seem to get any relief. Has anyone tried any of the surgical options to get rid of this horrible, painful disorder?
