carbamazepine: I have been on 400mg once a day at night since I got diagnosed with bipolar 4 months ago and I am definitely more stable. I haven't had a manic episode since. I have had a few depressed times but not to the extent of before. Carbamazepine is definitely doing it's job at stabilizing my moods.

Epitol (carbamazepine): Works very well in stabilizing mood. I need a very small dose twice a day, and I haven't noticed any side effects. Except maybe acne. Although I don't know if that is the cause. I have been on it nearly 2 months now and I notice progress everyday. I am able to focus and accomplish tasks instead of being scattered and all over the place.

Epitol (carbamazepine): Epitol has helped me immensely. It pulled me out of a manic phase (after withdrawing from lithium, which didn't work) and has helped me from going into a deep depression.

Tegretol (carbamazepine): My only real problem with my bipolar disorder is my aggressiveness and this medicine like the other 13 I've been on does nothing for it.

Tegretol (carbamazepine): I have been using Tegretol for 6 months for BiPolar and I have felt happier consistently for the first time in my life. I have tried many others over 15 years and Tegretol has changed my life. I have had no side effects! Go Tegretol!

Tegretol (carbamazepine): I liked it more than valproate since it doesn't affect your weight.

carbamazepine: 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 (carbamazepine): 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.
