Carbamazepine FAQ

carbamazepine and alcohol?

I just recently started taking carbamazepine at 100 MG and will be going up more dosages untill i start feeling tired. I like to drink alot and my 21st birthday is coming up. What are the effects of alcohol on carbamazepine and is it not safe?

i have just been prescribed carbamazepine for neuralgia [trigeminal] i have been experiencing the usual symptoms [excruciating pain in the side of my face & ear, plus painful/sore face, head, ear cheek etc on the right side on my face/head] yesterday my dentist ruled out any dental problems & today my gp has started me on the above medicine [not started working yet] so in the meantime if anybody has any other advise it would be gratefully recieved also any personal info about this! thanks x

has being taking carbamazepine tablets for 5 yrs is it bad for her could that affect her ?

I'm currently attending day hospital due to a relapse with bipolar (I stopped my meds, went manic with steroids, and crashed with a mixed episode). Part of the reason I have trouble with taking the meds is I am unhappy with potential side effects; my outpatient pscyh did agree to look at changing when i was stable, but as I felt so good I didn't take the meds. I also have trouble accepting the diagnosis. The psychiatrist at the hospital refuses to listen to my concerns and twists my words. My current meds are: quetiapine (seroquel) 300mg, epilim (sodium valproate) 900mg (going to 1200 -1500 soon) oxazepam 10mg as needed and zopiclone as needed. I was due to be taken off the quetiapine as I have trouble with weight gain on it, and was told as long as I took the epilim it was ok; however the psychiatrist deceided to up it due to the fact I think I can hear movements downstairs when asleep (my windows have been broken twice at 4am). I know I probably need the epilim but am worried about gaining even more weight, or losing my hair, and I have PCOS. I really want Topamax or Carbamazepine but the doctor won't listen. Also another patient said I should be on antidepressants as she has only ever seen me low, but the doctors say that I am not, I am still high even if crying all day.... HELP please??
