Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your current symptoms are unlikely to be related to the side effects of carbamazepine, even though it started after you took this tablet. This is because carbamazepine leaves the body completely within a few days of stopping.
So, please consult a neurologist for evaluation and opinion regarding your current symptoms.
Best wishes,
