Hi members, I am taking Tegretol, but since increasing my dosage recently, it has made my depression worse and has caused me to one to lash out at the smallest things. Anyone have such side-effects?

@ephelpme I am sorry to hear you are having these reactions; however, I have heard from many and from other forums that this is common. Many people complain about feeling irritable (which sounds like you are feeling) and depressed.
Please do not let it get worse and speak to your doctor and see if you can change the medication or dosage.
