I'm actually taking 200mg Tegretol for panic disorder. (and it seems to be very good at blocking panic attacks). At this level I have no trouble with the side effects - and don't seem to have gained any weight from it. (Unlike Paxil). The doc did a blood check, and I was just under the effective range - so he put me up to 300mg. That's when all the side effects came raging in. I had bad headaches every day, felt nauseas, and had terrible digestion to the point where I just couldn't eat. I went back down to the 200mg, where I am now fine again. I don't know what level you would need for BP though.
