I think you are right about what you say about the doc, doodle bug, abouth them not knowing much more about TN than we do. It's really hard explaining it to people so I just have them look it up at wiki most the time. I think I'm allergic to Tegretol too, since I've had that added I have been so woozy I've missed a lot of work. The doc told me to cut back half and then add it again next week, but I think I may be allergic to it like you are. I have been throwing up, I have a sore throat, a rash and some other stuff that popped up since taking it. I'm going to call him again and let him know I plan on getting off the tegretol-it works pretty well but I guess it's not for some of us
