Tegretol would be the drug. I am only taking 100mg a day for a week and the twitching has gone through the roof. Just when you think it could not get any worse. I have twitching everywhere, but am most bothered by my face which is relentless and prevents sleep. Now I have about 4 hotspots on my face including both upper eyelids which continue every few seconds for 20 hours straight minimum and if one stops another starts. No it is not going to kill me, it is benign, but right now I would like to take a scalpel to a couple muscles. It has been 9 years of getting worse and worse and I had hoped Tegretol would help.
My question is do I stop the tegretol under the assumption that has caused the problem to worsen? It is quite a rare side effect. It is so sucky, but I have been crying and My mom died 11 months ago and I so wish I had her to talk to! She could always stop my panic.
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Shirley
