Hi.
In a way, you are in uncharted territory. Hopefully, you will be able to tolerate the Tegretol well enough to be able to continue with it. Dosage of Tegretol? Rate of BZD taper? It will be up to you to evaluate how these things affect you. If it were me, I would go with 400mg of Tegretol and give it a week to settle in before attempting a taper. After you reach the point of complete discontinuation of BZD, I would probably wait a 2-3 weeks before tapering the Tegretol. Then, you might want to allow 2-3 weeks to accomplish the taper.
I'm just guestimating.
Good luck. I have a good feeling about this.
