> So I need to continue with it correct?
As you begin to feel that your options are becoming fewer, I suppose that it becomes more important to give things a fair trial. I wish I could guarantee that things will work out with the Tegretol, even though you might have to endure some startup side effects.
> Might be a week adjustment? I was thinking about 100mgs 3 times a day, dosing at same time as diazepam.That sounds reasonable to me. Start low and increase gradually. Just know that you can go up to 1200mg if need be. I can't see needing more than 600mg, though, but this is your experiment to discover the right dosage.
If it works, it will be important to taper the Tegretol slowly so that you don't trigger an already kindled system. But you can cross that bridge when you come to it.
