I had horrifying nausea/vomitting & dizziness on Tegretol...ended up in the hospital 01/24 for six days. Was sent home with Trileptal, Percocet, MSContin, Lyrica. I just finished weaning myself off of the narcs, after two fecal impactions and all those weeks in a drug induced stupor.

So far, so good on justs Lyrica and Trileptal! Just waiting now for my Gamma Knife!

Good luck!!
