I have been on tegretol since 1981. At first i was taking 23 pills a day to find out what works best. Finally i am taking 1600mg of tegretol daily. I only suffered one grand mal seizure in 1981 but continue to have a handful of petit mals daily,which last seconds.Having an understanding Dr. and family also helps.Only bad side effect at first was double vision.

I have been on tegretol since 1981. At first i was taking 23 pills a day to find out what works best. Finally i am taking 1600mg of tegretol daily. I only suffered one grand mal seizure in 1981 but continue to have a handful of petit mals daily,which last seconds.Having an understanding Dr. and family also helps.Only bad side effect at first was double vision. Everyone reacts differently to each medicine,good or bad. Stay active in your life, find something interesting to make you look forward to getting up each morning. Stop sitting in front of the tv all day long and feeling sorry for yourself.Go volunteer at your local cancer clinic (childrens)if you feel depressed.Also i have put on weight over the years but mostly due to natural body changes and bad eating habbits.Am just happy to get up every morning with no noticable seizure disorder.Keep your mind and schedule full at all times. Exercise if your schedule is light,build your body"s endurance up slowly. Good luck to all
