[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 182129, member: 1498"] Tegretol? A neurologist I was seeing told me to switch from Dilantin to Tegretol -- just stop taking the Dilantin and start taking what she felt was an equivilent dose of Tegretol. The first day I got up, made breakfast, went potty, came back downstairs, fell on the sofa and didn't move for four hours. I wasn't exactly asleep the whole time but I couldn't function at all. I didn't take another dose until I got a new neurologist who put me on a schedule that made the switch over two months, IIRC. I wasn't aware of how much sedation and cognitive dulling I was experiencing on the Tegretol until I stopped taking it completely. Then it was like a cloud lifted. [/QUOTE]
