Hello everyone. New to the forum. Just wanted to know if there is anyone out there that has ever changed their medication from phenytoin /dilantin to carbamezepine/tegretol and if so how was their experience. I have been on phenytoin for 9 years straight but after some breakthrough seizures we...

Hi there!! I am new to this forum, but have had epilepsy all of my life and I am almost 39. I was actually diagnosed at age 9, and was put on Tegretol. It worked great for the most part, I would have an occasional petite mal seizure while taking it but didn't have a grand mal seizure for 20+...

My epileptologist increased my Topamax to 300 mg (I also take Keppra) and I have been having side effects from it-- nausea, vomitting, GI problems, and because of those, headaches. They tend to fluctuate so the nausea is pretty consistent, but the other ones are not (the headaches are not)...

So today my doctor started me on Tegretol as Lamictal was not controlling my seizures. I've never been on Tegretol and in 4 weeks my doctor will remove my Lamictal as she prefers me to just be on one medication. The questions I'm asking is; does it cause weight gain? That's a major issue for...

Over the last 2 weeks my complex-partial seizures have increased significantly in frequency. I am currently taking Tegretol and my G.P has increased my dose to try and control it but he wants to closely monitor the seizures. I always get side effects for a 1-2 weeks after increasing Tegretol...

Hi from Australia. My temporal lobe seizures started decades ago. The likely cause is an angioma. They are well controlled by tegretol and lamictal with no issues until now. My liver enzymes are now sky high and it looks like tegretol may no longer a good drug for me. This is very unexpected...

I've been on Tegretol for a long while now, and I'm doing a slow switch over to Keppra (over two months), and although I heard great things about Keppra, at least compared to Tegretol, and I don't know if anyone has any recommendations?

Hello Friends... I don't how to keep doing this. I'm currently studying in Istanbul, Turkey and my Epilepsy has gotten way out of hand. So I'll be starting a new medication. The problem is the side-effects terrify me and I'll be dealing with anything that comes from the new medication, as well...

Hello, everyone. I haven't been here in a while. I was just wondering everyone's experiences with Tegretol and dreaming. It has been a very long time since I've had dreams that I remember vividly. Most nights I wake up knowing I was dreaming and maybe remembering who was in it, but I have no...

Hi all I've very recently been diagnosed with simple partial seizures (deja vu). They do not bother me, happen rarely and only after weeks of sleep deprivation (think juggling wife, mother, working and post-grad study). Twice (once a month ago, and once 11 years ago) I had a deja vu and lost...
