Discussions tagged “Tegretol-XR”

I've been prescribed Tegretol-XR 400mg tablets for my trigeminal neuralgia, and I'm curious about others' experiences with this medication. The possible side effects list is quite extensive, and I'm hoping to hear from those who have managed them well. Does anyone have tips for mitigating the more common side effects like dizziness or upset stomach? Additionally, how common are the more severe side effects, and what should I be particularly vigilant about? Finally, has anyone found Tegretol-XR to be effective for their condition, and what has their overall experience been like? I'm really looking for reassurance and practical advice.
