I've just been reading the boards on Tegretol side effects & discovered my forgetfulness & brain fog is completely normal!!! I hate it but I'll take that over the pain! I'm currently taking 800mg Tegretol per day and have been for about a year or so. Luckily - I am pain free but still have burning, itching over my right eye where I used to get the stabbing pains. I'll take that rather than increasing the meds tho.
My question is about anxiety & tegretol. I work at home and I've noticed I'm becoming increasingly anxious about leaving the house. I'm not worried about pain coming back or anything else that I can think of so I started thinking, could it be due to the Tegretol?
Anyone else have this issue with Tegretol? I don't tolerate medication very well but would be open to switching if I could get rid of this anxiety.
Thanks!
