Tegretol Reaction
Wed, 04/06/2016 - 22:30Topic: Medication Issues
Hello I have been on Tegretol since January
and I am currently having an allergic reaction
I have a rash on my arms and legs the doctor
said it is from the sun, I see the neurologist
next week, but I am kind of freaking out. I did
Google this and the sun can cause a reaction.
Has anyone had this before, I don't want to stop
Taking it as I have grand mal seizures. The doctor
Did say any swelling and you will have to stop it.
I have called the Neurologist and tried to move
Up my appt. but can't get in. I am supposed to
Avoid the sun, but it is hard as I can't drive
Because of my seizures. Help
