Hi @Mac2803‍ it's totally OK to ask, but I'd recommend you to start a new discussion, because your comment is off-topic here emoticon wink To start a new discussion just go back to the list of all discussions in this group, then click on the green button "Create a discussion" situated just under the group title.

If you need any help with the website, feel free to contact me!

Have a nice day!

I have been on Carbamazepine for over over 25 years... It has helped my epilepsy and controlled my tonic clonic seizures. 

Obviously, dosages have to be sorted which can be a complicated and tiring business; once sorted it has worked for me.

Tiredness, memory loss are 2 of the main side effects.

Regards,

Les

I've been on Carbamazepine for over 20 years. And up to now it controls my epilepsy completely. I have grand mals.

I came off them a while when trying for my son 22 years ago and started having fits again. So went back on them.

Tiredness, lack of energy and memory loss. The same as Les. But rather that than the fits again.
