>...I must add that today I after taking the Tegretol I can feel that this medication has zonked me out i.e 2 hours after taking one 200mg tablet I had to lay down for 30mins because of the sedation - I never had that sedation from Trileptal.
Nick, hope you don't mind me asking a question about the sedative differences between Teg and Trileptal.. So, it was really that pronounced? The only time I tried Teg was 100mg twice daily back in the late '80's for a week or two and I can't remember much about it. I didn't notice much sedation from Trileptal either, no sexual sfx, but MAJOR blurry vision. Anyhow, I wonder if Tegretol at bedtime (only) would make a good sleep med for me... Hmmm. --- Mitch
