Length of time on Tegretol

Posted , 11 users are following.

Naively when I began taking Tegretol I expected it to be for 2 weeks only as this was how long a flare up usually lasted. Three months on I am still taking it as the flare up has been continuous. Can I please ask fellow sufferers what the longest period of time is that they have been taking Tegretol continuously?

    Dear Anne, 

                      I've been on this medication for a year, don't know when can be allowed to get off this, truth e told I'm scared to come off this as my pain will return, as done on the odd occasion, but can't increase dosage, wish you all the best,  good luck and health, as to all the sufferers
