Hi Everyone

Absolutely.  They say it grows back but so far no evidence.  I don't
take the stuff anymore either.  I have been getting out more lately
and it has been bothering me, especially since I have just finished
making a silent movie with a group of "beautiful people", I am really
not looking forward to seeing the film when we edit it.  Teg also
helped me gain a lot of weight so there is some more self esteem shot.

You're not alone.

Hello Beck, I just wanted to ask if it could possibly be a side effect to
something else, such as balding for example. You see although I get
many different kinds of seizures, I have been on many different types of
medication, including both tegretol regular, and tegretol retard, though
I still have very long, thick, dark hair down to my waist. I also have a
friend who takes tegretol, and she has only very mild absences, and was
just given permission to start driving lessons last year, but she too
has a full head of hair.

As for the quote by Angeleyes that tegretol may be responsible for putting
up your weight, I don't know whether it's just the way the drug is
reacting with his body, or whether he just has a weight problem like the
millions of other people around the world. You see, I'm 39 years old now,
and have been a size 12 for decades. In fact, the only time my weight went
up via my medication, was when I was in my teens and taking a very high
dose of epilim (sodium valproate). As soon as I was taken off this drug,
my weight went back to normal again, and therefore, this is why I think
this must be the drug that will put up your weight, well, it certainly put
mine up anyway.
