Epilepsy
"Have had complex partial seizure disorder for over 40 years.  My main medicine that held me for years was Phenobarbital.  When I started having breakthrough seizures, Tegretol was the secondary medicine that has held me okay for the past 4 years.  I tried Tegretol XR first but for me, I felt very tired, some dizziness, poor memory, and very bland.  When the Dr switched me to regular Tegretol, it was totally opposite!  I felt alive again, memory sharp, out riding horses, happy as a lark and felt like my good old self.  People should know there are many different medicines for epilepsy these days and also that there is a Tegretol XR (long-acting)."
