Am on my 5th day of taking Tegretol and I shake from elbows to my hands then my calves. I am also unsteady when walking; even have to think extra when talking - LOL.
The worst is my eyesight has almost double vision and for sure my eyes quiver so it's difficult to focus.
My Stepdad of 30 years is a Pharmacist and says this is a non emergency side effect which lasts maybe 1 week. Then I called my other Pharmacist at the drugstore and she agrees. To further my concern, I looked up several sites explaining Tegretol side effects and indeed, what I'm experiencing is typical.
But gawdddddd, it sure is weird feeling this wonky - ahahaha!!!
