Suffering From Long Lasting Moans Before Sleep. Epileptic. Was Taking Dilantin. Changed To Tegretol. Side Effects Due To Medicine?

Hi, I have been going through something strange for me. I started moaning, short and well as long lasting moans before I fall a sleep as well as when I am a sleep. What could be doing this. Its getting worst and worst each day.
I am Epileptic, I was on Dilantin 100mg for several years, and because of other physical issues they tried to change my medication to the tegretol 400mg and goes up to a little over a year. So the timing is pretty close. Could this medication cause me to do this???? I really need someone's help..

Thanks

hello tegretol causes drowsiness and somnolence. The symptoms you are experiencing are due to tegretol. The dose of the drug should be increased gradually to minimise the side effects. I will advise you to consult your physician and take opinion. Get well soon.
