> That's what I was thinking, since you have been taking Tegretol for over a week. Remember, 400mg now does not equal 400mg before. The drug autoinduces its own metabolism. You would have to take 600mg now to equal the 400mg when you first started. Give it a shot. You can always discontinue the drug should you be reluctant to go any further. It would certainly be an important discovery if you were to only need 200mg.

If i were to come off of it, there would be a serious backlash and flood of crap coming over me. There was just for taking 2 pills of depakote. Same with a couple doses of trileptal, effected me for a while.
300 was good in the sense as i was out the door, still feeling high and crazy etc, but not seeing ugly/dysphoric/depressive things.
Let's hope for the best.
