A member asked:
Going from 400 mg of tegretol to 600...would it take about 4 days until therapeutic steady state is reacched?

Yes.: Initial half life of Carbamazepine is 36 hours, but if you have been taking it a while, the elimination process increases to an 18-24 hour half life. Steady state usually takes 4 half lifes, If you just started, steady state would take 6 days, otherwise 3 to 4 days.
