we just don't get a break do we.

I am on carbamazepine (tegretol) so had my first bone density scan two years ago (if on phenobarb, tegretol or dilantin it should be every two years once on it for 8+ years, i'm about to hit 13).
everything was normal and will be going for 2nd test early next year.

here is a very informative article on bone density loss and seizure medications...

I had a bone density test about 5 years ago.

I was on Tegretol like I am now and it turned out fine.
