So, I have a few random mouth sores that kinda just appeared. I am on a lower dose of tegretol and noticed that it is listed as a serious side affect. I don't want to be a hypochondriac at all. Is this a normal occurrence or am I over reacting here? just being cautious due to being on so many meds!
Lizloulou,
Anything abnormal warrants a visit to your doctor! You just never know.
Good luck, hope it nothing,
Mimi
Call your doctor right away. That is a serious side affect and should not be ignored. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you, but yeah let your doctor know. My pharmacist was very serious with mouth sores as side affects when I was picking up my medications. Even though I take a different medication then the one you mentioned it is in the same family of medications. Basically anything to do with sores and rashes are bad and should be brought to your doctors attention ASAP. And, no your not being a hyproconderact by letting them know you are showing signs of a serious side affect. Hope that helps a little.
Thanks Kari! I left them a message yesterday but they never called back. So I guess I will just call tomorrow again and hope I don’t have a seizure or something. Kinda scared here lol
I would call and make sure to speak with someone. You should be fine. I know the side affect listed with medications are a good scarey read, huh? You can also call the pharmacy and ask to speak with the pharmacist. They normally give good advice and some will even follow up with the prescribing doctor. I’ve done that before too.
I am calling at 8 am. I fear I already had a seizure so I need to get the doc a message.
If you had a seizure then you should head to the ER. That is serious and should be cheeked out. Sorry I didn’t see that earlier.
I can’t be for sure. I just remember I was siting down (possibly at work I can’t really remember that detail) and had coughed then for about five seconds my eyes were opening and closing really fast and my arm was twitching. I couldn’t control it. So idk. I can’t really
go to the ER since my mom thinks I over react and prob wouldn’t believe me.
UPDATE;
My doc has put me back on gabapentin until I see my new neuro. He considered making me go cold turkey (does he not remember that that is very dangerous??) but changed to that. I am inbetween two docs and hoping to go the the one who staff isn't rude.
