It did take most of the pain away but for the last few weeks now I ha e been havj g awful emotional breakdown episodes.  For example I may be just sitting down to eat and in middle of eating just ha e this feel I g sweep over me that I need to cry lime something awful happens but nothing has happened.   It keeps happening g, these awful downward mood swings.  Is it the tegretol?   Im really scared
[|AI|]  Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. These mood swings are not of regret. Tegretol is, in fact, particularly useful for people who experience multiple mood swings. You are going into negative mood sometime somehow. That is it. Why do you want to relate it to medicine which is given to you by a qualified doctor? Such things happen when we do not have faith in our doctor. Have faith. He shall not do anything to hurt you. If you have this feeling with the present doctor, change to an experienced acceptable one. Mood swings often occur due to many reasons. One among them is apprehension. Another reason is just by sitting idle and not doing anything and worrying about self. Understood? Do your job with passion and involve yourself in it. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
