On Tegretol for bipolar. My wife feels my BP is improved. I only note improved in my manic side. Depressive side still unpleasant and dangerous. When started and when dosing changed, I had grogginess, with abated after a few few. Am on many meds, Haldol and clonazepam (for Tourette's) and lithium and now Tegretol (for bipolar), and feel this combination of meds has resulting in debilitating sexual dysfunction. Do not believe E.D. caused by any one med, but by the combination. Do not know what to do about this as I need this meds. Ain't life fun?

Seems to me you're on way too many meds... I'm on Tegretol and my psychiatrist doesn't know why I was put on it, as I have post traumatic stress disorder, not bipolar.. and in her words "Tegretol is a dirty drug and the side effects are awful.. nobody should be taking this drug!"
