> With all the interactions with the Tegretol I am surprised that they haven't taken it off the market. How many people who take that sort of drug take JUST one? They freaked out about Bextra and yanked it but it seems this would be more dangerous. Down here we call them thangs a "porta cove". I do believe it's porte-couvre, otherwise known as a covered drive up. hehe
Bridgey, some do take only the one...
and, from the reading I have done about the alternatives to tegretol, those before topomax, there are others out there that are far more dangerous...
anything I read describes topomax as a sort of support to tegretol...
but I do so much better without the tegretol...
when I had to be on antibiotics, two of them, for the lung infection a couple of months ago, I had to stop taking tegretol as the one antibiotic increased the effect of the teg, creating statis episodes...
as I had to have the antibiotic, the neuro told my doctor to stop the teg for a while... and that is when many of the other symptoms stopped and the first clue hit me..
every time I tried using it, things went out of control...
another round of antibiotics and no tegretol and again no serious problems...
seems only my doctor and I can add...
the neurologist seems to have flunked basic math..and what is it doing to other people???
I find myself chuckling when I hear people worrying about little ol' topomas <s>
