Carbamazepine 200mg / Teva Ndc 00093-0109-01
UpdatedI take this medicine for years and my life savor for years. No other alternative medication works for me. Absolutely no other! All of of a sudden this medicine is disappeared/discontinued by the manufacturer. I cannot get it from any place.
Where I can get a ndc '109' medicine..? Any other manufacturer? My normal life depends on it. Please let me know.

I have been on carbamazepine 200mg tabs since it was first introduced. I went to pick up a new refill only to find a different drug in its place. The pharmacist said Teva has discontinued making carbamazepine. I am very worried....you just dont "futz" seizure medication. Will call Teva for verification.
@Linda,
When I run a standard search online, there aren't any official announcements pertaining to the discontinuation of carbamazepine.
I don't know if Teva has anymore information on the subject, but what strikes me as odd is that if they really did discontinue it, why would it still be on their product page linked below?:

Do post back whenever you hear from them, as I'd be interested in finding out the truth as well.
I did hear back from Teva. They received permission from the FDA to sell their own brand of carbamazepine. So they took the generic carbamazepine they sell and turned it into Epitol and stopped making carbamazepine "for retooling purposes". This forced pharmacies to quickly look for a replacement. Surprise! There's an identical replacement and low and behold it's sold by Teva. Two different departments at Teva got back to me with the same information
I still have a bottle.
