Has anyone ever taken more than 1200 mg of Tegretol a day?My Dr. recently raised my dose for Tegretol XR from 1200 mg/day to 1400 mg/day. I heard somewhere that the highest dose recommended for Tegretol is 1200 mg/day. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, is anyone familiar with how long it takes for an increased dose of Tegretol to take effect? |

| Here is the PDF file on Tegretol Tegretol Whenever I am prescribed something new, I will look for the pharmaceutical PDF on that particular drug read it. If I am familar with it than I can know what to expect. If you are concerned about the amount, you should discuss this with your doctor. Quote :

I"m on 1600 mg/dayIt is above the suggested limit but I'd been taking it for many years when it was upped to that does. I seem to be dealing well with it but my GP tried to lower it & that only resulted in a massive CT seizure in the middle of the grocery store. One neurologist told me that the maximums are general guidelines & it's not a good idea to start out on the max but everyone is different & might be able to handle more or not as much. Basically I'm more concerned that this dosage control my E. I'd be upset if another doctor tried to lower it & I had to convulse again.
