Hi I'm Pat. I've just found this website by accident I'm going mad with forced thinking, have temporal lobe epilepsy but I didn't realise that this was the cause. I've never been told this. I was beginning to think that I was going mad. I'm now on lamotrigine after being on tegretol for 25 years and perhaps the change has caused this to happen. Would love to hear from anyone out there with this problem. My GP just does not understand. Yours hopefully Pat
