Howdy Michelle!

Welcome!

Did you ever think about looking for other employment on the sly?

First welcome to the site. Hoping we can give you some support.

Next please take care of yourself. If your doctor says you cant
return to work. Then your supervisor has no real choice at this
point but to let you take a leave of absence.

I would work with the doctor and the medicines, see if you can
find something that will work.

You might look into trileptal it has less side effects than tegretol

Hey Shelly

I am so sorry you had to go through such a thing, but I am happy both you and your car (and the gas station/people) were all unharmed. I know it's an awful feeling when you think, "Whew, they're gone" and they make a comeback with a bang.

I'd suggest talking to your HR department regarding your co-worker, if you feel too 'shy', ask a family member to contact them on your behalf. Heck, I will! My former job went out of their way to make me feel 'stupid' and I finally left.

Keppra did that to me, also - and my memory (or lack of) so I understand. I'd made a post about dealing with the memory loss because it's small things that add up and you just feel 'blue' about it.

We're all here to help.

hey Shelly,
long time no see.
I know that sucky feeling, sorry it happened to you.
Is there some reason they have decided to go back to the tegretol after it messed with your memory before ?

Its been so long since I have talked to you that I dont remember if you have tried other meds. There are some.. lamictal is one that comes to mind, that usually wont mess with the memory so much. You have to go really slow getting your levels up on it, but it might be worth a shot.

I hope things improve !
