Question 1

what is the definition or description of: tegretol overdose?

Accepted Answer

So many concerns?: I cannot help but notice that you are asking about allergies, side effects as well as "definitions" and descriptions of a very large and varied number of  mostly psychotrophic medications. This suggests that you may have  a fear, anxiety or even a phobia of medications that are used to treat mental disorders. Discussions of these concerns with a psychiatrist may be very helpful to you.

Question 2

Question 3

Possibly: Theoretically yes as it does have central nervous system effects. More notable side effects include sedation, dizziness, confusion, unsteadiness, nausea, and even headache - all of which can contribute to a feeling of anxiety as well.

Question 7

No: Not depression, but in some people can cause life threatening rush od the skin, called Stevens Johnson syndrom

Question 8

weaning of tegretol can cause what symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Usually not eventful: But if one goes off too fast, could cause a withdrawal seizure.  Since in many ways it is a cerebral depressant, one might get anxious and hyper, and even rarer confused temporarily.  Most switches go well without complications.

Question 9

how can i deal with the somnolence caused by tegretol?

Accepted Answer

Tegretol side FX: If tegretol is causing excessive somnolence, it may be helpful to reduce the dose, or to use an alternative.  In your history there are symptoms of poor sleeping and breathing difficulty.  Could these be a factor also?  Sometimes the two of these are related to a condition known as sleep apnea, which can itself cause somnolence, independent of medication.

Question 10

will reducing 600 mg of tegretol to 400 cause 100 mg of lamictal to rise slightly?

Accepted Answer

Pharmacist: Best to call the pharmacist where you get the medication. They may be able to give you the best answer. Hope this helps!
