Negetol on the Tregretol!
Well, it's a negative on the Tegretol. I took 4 full doses & then 4 half-doses and with both I had the following side-effects: extreme dizziness, nausea, headache, dry mouth, tingling in tongue & lips. I was so dizzy I was not able to walk or stand without holding on to something. Even after 27 hours after taking the last half-dose, I was still very dizzy. My doctor's office called this afternoon and said to stop the Tegretol and start a new med (which I will probably pick up tomorrow afternoon...don't remember the name of it).
Let's hope for better results. (Although....on the Tegretol, I did have about a 30% reduction in the facial pain.)
