Dear Welcome to HCM We understand your concerns I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. These mood swings are not of tegretol. tegretol is, in fact, particularly useful for people who experience multiple mood swings. You are going into negative mood sometime somehow. That is it. Why do you want to relate it to medicine which is given to you by a qualified doctor? Such things happen when we do not have faith in our doctor. Have faith. He shall not do anything to hurt you. If you have this feeling with the present doctor, change to an experienced acceptable one. Mood swings often occur due to many reasons. One among them is apprehension. Another reason is just by sitting idle and not doing anything and worrying about self. Understood? Do your job with passion and involve yourself in it. Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
