[QUOTE="Steely, post: 249481, member: 3301"] Ummm.........yea call psychiatrist and ask him some more info about the process of taking Tegretol. You absolutely have to have blood draws, and titrate slowly. 400mg sounds like way too much to start at one time, I think it should be more like 100mg at a time ~ but of course I am not a Dr. The reason you have to have blood draws is there is a possible side effect on this medication of developing APLASTIC ANEMIA AND AGRANULOCYTOSIS. Therefore his blood needs to be drawn I think every 6 months to make sure he does not develop this. In addition there is the rare possibility of Steven Johnsons Syndrome - so look for any sudden rash. [/QUOTE]
