Hi, I'm 21 and have been using Tegretol for the past 5 years now. I take it because I am epileptic and I'm pretty sure it helps my nerves.Some of the side effects I have been getting are stomach problems, blurred eye sight and a lapse in memory. I think the side effects have gotten worse over the summer and I'm going to get my levels checked soon because my eye sight has been going blurry at random times lately. Sometimes it's difficult to tell whether or not the problems are really from my medication, so I've got to go to a nuerologist often.
