| Re: Does tegretol calm rage?
Why YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
The high side of my BP is characterised by EXTREME rage!! They disappeared soon after starting Tegretol.
I was initially on 100mg am, 100mg pm. This was quickly increased to 200 am, 100 pm. I stayed on this for a good while but then my instability (especially with relation to my depression) came back. My dose was increased to 200mg am, 200mg pm. I then stayed on this for another good while.
My dose was then increased to 300mg am, 300pm due to further instability (depression though - not rage). However, at this dose I lost my short term memory so was put on the time release formula - TEGRETOL RETARD. With my mood still slipping I was put up to 200mg am, 600mg pm.... this is working a treat for me....
but YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 For my rage (which was absoutley horrific - anyone got it!!!!!!!) - it has been a god-send.... and I know my fiance would agree with me....
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you give it a try - if it doesn't help you can always stop it.
Good Luck,
The 'calm' Nut.
