Well, I am feeling better today. I did pass out once today already, but that fogginess like I have cotton in myhead seems to be gone for the most part. My balance still isn’t good, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before I get that under control.
I am now taking Tegretol twice a day. 200mg in the AM, 200mg in the PM. This is subject to change depending on whether it stops the passing out. Supposed to let the Dr. know in a week if I am still passing out. He might up the dose if I am. Then in two weeks I have a blood draw to check liver function, platelets, and other stuff.
Then we just go from there, adjusting the dose as we go depending on levels and effectiveness. Then, somewhere in there I will be seeing a neurologist and having an EEG done…
This is the third day of taking the Tegretol, this being the first day I will take the full dose (started out at just the 200mg at night). So far so good….
