It might work. It might not. Do you take a low dose or a high dose?
For me it didn't work...vertigo/vomiting/ and a trip to the ER. But I take meds for epilepsy and they are a lot higher than for pain.

Carbatrol is not exactly like tegretol if you ask a trusted pharmacist. Buffers. delivery etc. But it is way more expensive.

Good luck. Everyone is different and what works for one is trouble for anothery. Jubliee
