Jane, Greta, Frank and Beth -- thank you for your comments and experience with Tegretol. It sounds like there were no bad side effects!! YES!!! I need to call the Coumadin Clinic being I take Warfarin since the atrial fibrillation last summer. Was going to call today, but didn't get up in time. I seem to sleep pretty good in my recliner and am not so sore in the morning (my morning) as I am sleeping in the bed.

I haven't heard about the extra blood tests yet. Have to call the neuro back in a week or so to let him know how it's working, so maybe I'll hear about it then. The "bloodsuckers" come to check my coumadin level anyway so they can probably just take an extra vial.

You guys are the greatest! I can always count on some answers when I come to this site. Thanks again........Hugs..........
