HI. Thanks to writing at Healthcare,agic.
I go through your symptoms and advice that please do not stop carbamazepine. It is anti epileptic drug and if you stop than rebound phenomenon occur.
It is advisable to gradually taper the dose and than stop drug.
Don't stop it without your consultant.
I hope my advise will help you.
Thanks and Regards.
Dr Vijay
