A member asked:

If on tegretol 600 for 5 years is it possible that i may need to up to 800...it is in mid range about 7.0..or is 800 too high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A few comments: Tegretol is a very old drug dating back to the 1970's, and may have benefit in treating trigeminal neuralgia or epilepsy, but due to adverse event risks has been substantially supplanted by newer and safer agents. Of course, I am unaware of why you take this drug, so, do not self-medicate, but contact your doctor and discuss what to do next.
