Tegretol® (carbamazepine) has the same chemical ingredient as Timonil ® and is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer. It is available in a regular tablet and syrup.

Serious side effects include dangerously low red and white blood cell counts. Severe skin reactions can occur as well as serious liver abnormalities, such as hepatitis, resulting in jaundice. Low sodium levels and thyroid abnormalities have been described. Minor more common side effects include dizziness, unsteadiness, nausea, and vomiting. Rare patients with Asian ancestry rarely may develop severe skin reactions to carbamazepine (Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis). These patients can be identified by genetic testing, and such testing is recommended for all Asian patients before starting therapy. Antiepileptic medications have been associated with increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior. Anyone considering the use of antiepileptic drugs must balance this risk of suicide with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be closely observed for clinical worsening, suicidal thoughts, or unusual changes in behavior.

Carbamazepine is used to prevent and control seizures. This medication is known as an anticonvulsant or anti-epileptic drug. It is also used to relieve certain types of nerve pain (such as trigeminal neuralgia). This medication works by reducing the spread of seizure activity in the brain and restoring the normal balance of nerve activity.

  • Is Tegretol anti-anxiety?

    Tegretol (carbamazepine) is an anti-epileptic medication. It can also be prescribed to reduce symptoms of anxiety. It acts in the brain by reducing abnormal electrical activity, which can help control mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
  • What does Tegretol do to the brain?

    Carbamazepine helps control epileptic seizures by slowing down the electrical discharges that trigger the episodes. This medicine is believed to work by slowly turning off sodium channels in brain cells that help spread electrical activity from one cell to another.
  • Does Tegretol affect hormones?

    Tegretol has been shown to affect the level of sex hormones in women. This can cause disturbances in the menstrual cycle. Long-term use of Tegretol can cause increased levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) as well as reduced levels of estradiol. This can lead to menstrual irregularities.
  • Does everyone gain weight on carbamazepine?

    Most anticonvulsants, including Tegretol, produce some weight gain. In some cases, this can be due to changes in appetite, water retention, and edema.
  • Can I drink coffee with Tegretol?

    Caffeine can lower the effect of Tegretol in treating seizures and can lead to an increase in the number of seizures in some people. The same answer applies to the question “Can you drink alcohol with Tegretol?” Generally, people subject to seizures are advised to be careful when drinking alcohol. While taking Tegretol, the combination of medication and alcohol can make you more sleepy, dizzy, or light-headed than usual. Most doctors suggest avoiding alcohol while being treated with Tegretol.
