CJ is now at the therapeutic dose of 2 tabs, twice daily, and last night he had really bad vision issues. Blurriness, double vision. He could not drive or watch tv or anything.
I put in a call to the doc just in case, and to tell him about the rash he's been having.
We're getting worried!
School starts in a few days, and he could not work like this!
I believe that vision issues are fairly common and may get better…the rash??? Good thing you called the MD
I got a rash from Tegretol and was weaned from it. Currently I in remission. A shot of lidocaine helps me when its really bad and it has to be lidocaine not some other drug in the same family. Has he tried Klonopin? I take two every day and when the pain gets really bad, I take another one.
I am trying not to back to Tegretol as it interacts why my hypothryoid meds and can cause damages to my eggs. We havent’ decided if we want another baby or ?
I hope he feels better.
The doc lowered his dose, and he seems to be doing better on it. No more bad vision. Pain still under control.
