A member asked:
What is average dose of carbamazepine for 8.5 year old for benign rolandic epilepsy? also can an increased dose cause depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cbz: 'typically' (due to weight variations and severity of condition, liver function and blood counts) around 100mg twice daily going up by 100g per week. Depression is not typical but is reported and warned against in all seizure medications as a class.
