I wrote this at the beginning of this year.

"Though it isn't well documented, I've seen references to people feeling anxiety, having emotional ups and downs and having trouble sleeping as they decrease Tegretol. I think that is part of what's going on for me. I frequently feel like I could cry. This past week I decreased it 200 mg. Now it will be 100 a week. I hope I adjust and don't feel more of those things!"

I don't think I got any responses but that was my experience. Also, it could be dangerous to decrease too quickly so take it slow.

I hope it goes well for you!
