700 + Zonasimide. Works okay - better than Tegritol.

I take 800mg a day. This seems to be working well for me right now. I had some trouble sleeping at lower doses. No trubles now. I feel well with no noticiable side effects. I recently received a different generic with my last refill. I had a seizure after four days. I'm no longer taking that generic and am once again doing well.
What's up with the changing generics without notice anyway?

I take 450mg a day and it is ok. I also take vimpat and neurontin. if you think it is too much discuss it with your doctor and tell him what side effects you are experiencing. unfortuntatly for me, I doubled my dose out of confusuion. I od'd on it and it was so bad.. went to hospital to detox for 4 days. also, you should have your blood checked once in awhile for what ever it is they look for. my wife now takes care of my meds.
