Tegretol is also known as carbamazepine. It controls epileptic seizures, but can also be used for nerve pain.
Sadly, it is also linked to weight gain. Maybe that's inevitable with any drug that's trying to slow down your system, so to speak.
However, when I had to stop it, for a bit, not withdrawal issues and, for me, it works better than Lyrica.
