The drug Tegretal 200 mg reduces the nerve impulses that cause seizures. It relieves the symptoms such as confusion, involuntary movements, loss of consciousness and anxiety. Carbamazepine Tegretal does not cause physical or psychological dependence, but should not be stopped abruptly. To be effective, it must be taken regularly as prescribed. Missing the dose can lead to seizures.
Take Carbamazepine Tegretal exactly as your doctor has told you. Don't change your dose without first talking to your doctor. Sudden withdrawal can lead to status epilepticus.
In adults, treatment is usually started at 100 or 200 mg a day. The dose is slowly increased every 1-2 weeks. Usually the dose taken is increased by 100 or 200 mg at a time.
The dose for children under 6 years of age depends on body weight. Therapy is usually started with 10 to 20 mg Tegretal per kg body weight. It is taken 3 or 4 times a day. Each week the dose can be increased until the total daily dose reaches 35 mg per kg.
In both children and adults, the dose is increased until the seizures stop or annoying side effects appear.
It usually takes several weeks for carbamazepine to reach stable levels in the body.
For adults, the average recommended dose is 600 to 1200 mg daily. Because each person's body can respond differently to the same dose, some people may need doses of up to 2,000 mg daily or more.
