Rob, I have been taking Tegretol for a couple of years now for the banding and it is working great. I still have some banding there but not nearlly as bad as it used to be. It doesnt take my breath away when it happens and I can continue to function thur episodes now. I tried the Lamictal, but developed a rash so had to stop taking it before I ever found out if it would work. Lynne

As far as the meds I am weaning off I really had no bad reactions...it just feels like they are no longer helping. All the best! Rob in New Jersey
