Need To Stop Tegretol Side Effects Now.

I took 1 Tegretol (first time) today. I am dizzy, falling down, room is spinning. My daughter is getting married tomorrow. I need these side effects to go away now. I am also on Lamictal, Clonipin and Vyvanse. Can someone please give me any specific advice as to get rid of the side effects now. I would never be able to function at my daughter's wedding as I am now.

Wow, Sarah! I am very sorry! Starting so close to her wedding was likely not a great idea. Did your doctor advise this?

How are you feeling? How did the wedding go?

There's really no way to get rid of side effects that fast, it takes time for them to wear off.

My Son AK (6 yr) has been on Tegretol since his 3rd seizure attack (primary generalized seizure as per EEG) on June 18-2014. The initial dose has been prolonged up to August 20- 2014. The dose was very low (approx. 100 mg/day, i.e., 2 mL each time for thrice a day), but it worked keeping him seizure free for last two months. Doctor suggested to tapper this dose down and stop it and start the Keppra. As per his advice, 1.5 mL was given for first three days, then 1.0 mL for next three days and finally 0.5 mL for next three days. Last three days he was not given any medication and he seemed to be so far so good (other than slight mood change and vomiting tendency). Considering the serious side effect of Keppra we decided not to give him any medication. His seizures were clearly triggered by sleep deprivation all the time. We decided to watch his sleep and if needed provide him Melatonin. Doctor kind of supported this but he thought there might be an attack in two weeks. Any suggestion, experience or concern is welcome!
