A member asked:
Gaba a receptor tegritol for bipolar symptoms, is this effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies: Many people with bipolar disorder find tegretol very effective over time. Others have had less luck. People vary in how they respond to medications but this is a good choice for bipolar. Make sure to get your blood levels taken so you know you are at a therapeutic level of the medication.
