for what illness do you guys take this for.
I am on 200mgs a day....being told that is a super low dose....
for my bipolar.
was going well at first, but is getting progressively worse.

I am on suboxone, for opiate addiction recovery...it prevents me from
withdrawl symptoms and controls cravings.....
the tegretol seems to be eating all this med up (or causing my body to)rapidly and I am being thrown into wicked withdrawls.

I have to admit, the first thing I did like about it, was that it actually allowed me to feel "manic" as opposed to being severely depressed all the time...
Yeah, now that I think about it....I actually had a "high" from it....
But it is destroying the effects of my other meds.

Anybody else have this effect from tegretol....ruining other meds????
