My Use Of Tegretol

I would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem as me. I have been taking Tegretol since I was 20 so that makes it 26 years for me. I was told I have little bone in my gums and my teeth are going to fall out. I have had perfect teeth my whole life!!!! Has anyone else had this problem.

Hello, Amina! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

I've just read over the full list of possible side effects, as provided by the U.S. FDA and I've not found this listed anywhere, nor has it been reported by other users. Its typical side effects usually include nausea, drowsiness, headache, irritability, mood swings and weight changes.

It has been known to cause dry mouth, but that while that could contribute to tooth decay, it shouldn't cause bone loss.

Did your dentist have an idea as to what has caused it?
