Should i ask for a med change or wait it out?

For another 3 weeks. So the first week I had to take 200mg tegretol, and today I have to take 400mg. Shall I give it more time. I just feel I am cycling way more or maybe its just my perception

I feel like if you’ve only been on it a week you should give it more time, unless side effects have been outrageously bad.

I would give it some more time, it takes up to 6 weeks on Tegretol to notice something sometimes.

With that being said, Tegretol might not be the right med for you.

Tegretol is usually a second line treatment for Mania, it is not as potent as Depakote or Lithium.

But I woud give it some more time, you are on a small dose right now.
