#Tegretol

[a-dull-aching-pain]

When doctors try to convince me to stop taking the medications that are keeping me functional, due to them not being safe 'if' I become pregnant.

*A gif of House from House M.D. saying "What's the opposite of thank you?"*

[historian-in-pearls]

We doubled my Tegretol dose this week from 300 mg twice a day to 600 mg twice a day and it’s a trip, y’all. My brain is barely in my head.

Hoping I’ll adjust quickly because it’s very uncomfortable to say the least. I’ve only been on Tegretol for two weeks so I can’t say if this is normal or not.

yanno, for a show that seemed to always be running when i was growing up (disclaimer; I did not grow up with the channel; I only had access when visiting my mom's parents if they were even in the same state) Danny Phantom really is a short show, huh?

[dykethang]

thinking. about the potential of havinf to stop the med that is scientifically proven to reduce the risk of suicide in people who take it because theres a chance it's causinf a Bad side ecfect. except i can't take lamictal (doesn't work to stop mania, just depression), valproate was somewhat effective but for various reasons can:t take it again, and that leaves me with tegretol... but nothing is as effective as lithium for me. this is so unfair

I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and have been managing it with an antipsychotic only, but I think I may need a mood stabilizer as well. Wondering which ones I should look into more or avoid.

obviously it would be great if you could reblog to get a larger sample size but do what you want <3

[killed-by-choice]

Marla Anne Cardamone, 18 (USA 1989)

Marla’s story is one of coercion and manipulation. She was a teenage mom bullied into an abortion she never wanted.

Marla found out she was pregnant after an assault. She was 18 years old and already had a toddler at home, so she planned to put the baby up for adoption.

But Marla was on Tegretol and Elavil for depression and there was a chance that the medicine she took could have caused a birth defect. A social worker at the hospital where Marla had her ultrasound started pressuring Marla to have an abortion that Marla didn’t want in the first place. The social worker insisted that Marla had damaged her baby because of medication she had taken. Statistics gave a 92% chance that the baby was fine, but Marla had a sonogram to be sure. After the sonogram, that social worker kept pressuring Marla to have an abortion in an act of ableist eugenics. Finally, Marla reluctantly gave in.

Marla was admitted to Magee Women’s Hospital for the abortion on August 15 in 1989 for the legal abortion she never wanted. Because of her medical history, the urea induction abortion method was contraindicated. Ignoring the risks to 18-year-old Marla’s health and safety, abortionist Michael W. Weinberger injected urea into Marla’s uterus.

The abortion caused generalized necrosis of Marla’s uterine wall, meaning that one of her organs was rotting inside of her. Weinberger also carelessly inserted laminaria sticks in a way that caused septicemia and massive cortical necrosis of the kidneys. Marla didn’t stand a chance.

That night, Marla displayed a variety of alarming symptoms including nausea, vomiting, urinary incontinence and dried blood on her teeth. Her pulse and temperature were severely elevated. By 6:30 AM charge nurse contacted a the first of several doctors to treat Marla, but nobody bothered to do lab cultures. Half an hour later, Marla was “increasingly disoriented and speaking inappropriately.” 15 minutes after that, she had incredibly low blood pressure (80/40), she was suffering from tachycardia (144 bpm), and she was “unresponsive, grunting loudly, and having seizures.” No intravenous antibiotics were administered until almost 3 hours later. Marla received her antibiotics at 10:00 AM, but she died from her massive infections and internal damage at 12:15 that day.

Marla’s mother had not been allowed to see her for most of her daughter’s last day alive. Neither of Marla’s parents were notified about her rapidly deteriorating condition. When Marla’s mother was finally let into the room where Marla died, she couldn’t believe what she saw.

“There was my beautiful daughter so horribly disfigured that she was almost unrecognizable. A tube was still protruding from her mouth and I could see that her teeth and gums were covered with blood. Her eyes were half opened and the whites of her eyes were a dark yellow. Her face was swollen and discolored a deep purple. The left side of her face looked like she had suffered a stroke. All I wanted was to hold her. I managed to get an arm around her and kissed her good-bye.”

A lawsuit was filed for Marla’s excruciating and completely unnecessary death. The abortion “hospital” had not consulted qualified doctors, overdosed Marla on Pitocin, did not remove the corpse of Marla’s baby from inside her body, performed an unwanted and psychiatrically contraindicated abortion using a method that was physically contraindicated in the patient and did not notify Marla’s parents quickly when their daughter was dying.

Marla’s mother stated:

“I had to file a lawsuit to get any answers. Marla had died of septicemia–a massive infection from the abortion. I also learned that the social worker had never seen Marla’s sonogram or discussed the results with her. Marla never saw the words on the sonogram report that would have changed everything: No abnormalities detected. My daughter was pressured to have an abortion, and there had been no reason for it, no reason at all.

I’ve often wondered why pro-choice women’s groups have never expressed any sympathy or concern over Marla’s death. Why aren’t they demanding justice? Why aren’t they concerned that Marla was lied to about the condition of her baby and wasn’t shown the sonogram results? Why aren’t they concerned that proper treatment was delayed because Marla was misdiagnosed by a resident who was only two months out of medical school? Why are they so quiet?

I believe it’s because pro-choice groups don’t want women to read or hear about abortion injuries and deaths. Bad publicity hurts their cause. That’s why they prefer that Marla and her baby remain hidden statistics.”

[moonrevolutions]

one thing that never comes up because he doesn't care to speak on it...cocktail of medication he takes as given by his doctor

morning: 4mg liquid prozac, 500mg valporic acid, 200mg tegretol.

night: 250mg valporic acid, 200mg tegretol.

situational: 0.25mg xanax for panic attacks, 25mg seroquel for insomnia.

he is legit never gonna let anyone see him take his medication unless they live together or they’re someone that hangs out at his house a lot, because it's just something he's intensely private about. he does take adderall when he can’t focus on his work but that’s not doctor permitted. that’s just bought from a dealer. he smokes a lot of weed and other shit like wild dagga to get his nerves chilled out, but for the most part its just for fun and relaxation. kind of.

it's not that he's embarrassed but like... it's none of your business lol.

[dullahandyke]

getting nostalgic for my tegretol days

[a-dull-aching-pain]

Has anybody else with epilepsy who is on medication felt like they've been given a dodgy prescription? I opened a new bottle the other day and since then I've felt like a seizure is coming.

[the-stardust-shard]

If it's linked to my thymos that i feel completely empty and neutral and calcualting for the past 3 days (which i suppose is the case, since i'm dual-wielding tegretol which kinda worked and lithium now), to be honest for now i consider it to be a good thing, compared to the constant storm that happened before.

Though i know it won't be positively felt in the long run, for now it's a decent reprieve.

Unfinished Work #56 "Prior Warnings"

I have nothing to add to this, unfortunately! It was originally gonna be a deep delve into Mariner's issues with stuff. The basic plot line feels pretty obvious- Petra helped Mariner get back on her old medication (for bipolar disorder) and via flashbacks we learn she got diagnosed not long after the war and Buenamigo discouraged her from taking it to keep her unbalanced. It just never had a good ending point.

Title: Prior Warnings

Summary: N/A

"I just wanted to let you know," Beckett says, "y'know, so you don't see it on my file later and have a conniption fit?"

Captain Freeman very pointedly ignores that, studying the updated medical info. Most of it is things she knows. A long life under various healing instruments, multiple surgeries, quite a few charges of disorderly conduct to medical staff. The Abilify is new, but not exactly surprising.

She raised an immaculate eyebrow. "The hell is Tegretol?"

Mariner shifts quite awkwardly, and Carol knows she's hit a nerve. But what else was she supposed to say? It's the only new thing on the damn list.

"It's an old prescription," she decides finally. "Got back on it when I was hanging with Petra."

Captain Freeman hides her frown behind the hologram. Well, as close to hiding it as she can. It's still a bit of a sore spot between the two of them. "Why did you stop before?"

Mariner shrugs. "Didn't want you to see it."

Ah, yes. Because that's comforting. "This medication is necessary, then?"

"Necessary to keep me on track, yeah."

"Alright then." Carol hits the acceptance button. Technically, it's not her jurisdiction to have to do that, but it makes more sense than having Mariner haul the thing down to T'ana. "Should I be concerned about what I just signed?"

"It's medicine, mom," Mariner sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. "For my manic episodes."

She blinks. Blinks again. "I wasn't aware you were diagnosed."

"Yeah, yeah, it happened awhile ago. I just..." Mariner shrugged, crossing her arms defensively. "I like who I am when I'm stable."

Captain Freeman raises her hands in surrender. "You don't have to explain it to me, sweetie."

"Yes," Mariner says, staring at the floor, "I do."

———————————————————————————————————-

"You're going to have to explain it to her, you know."

Mariner's knee bounced, heel tapping obnoxiously against the hospital floor. "What does she even know? What does it matter?"

Uncle Les smiles at her in a way that she finds comforting then but will find sinister much later. "Beckett, you know how Carol is. A great woman. A great Captain. But... not the most understanding. I just worry she'll try to give you medical discharge."

"No, no, no," she mumbles, leg bouncing higher and higher. "She can't. I can't. Doesn't she understand that?" Mariner's breathing went as high as her leg as she tried to calm herself, fingers digging into those weird chairs no one actually feels comfortable in. "Who am I kidding? She doesn't care. And dad doesn't either. He kicked my ass from his ship for a reason."

He pats her shoulder. "S'okay, Mariner. No one says you have to take the meds."

(Buenamigo never said anything bad back then. Mariner can only assume his reasons now. He wanted her unstable. He wanted her to destroy the Freeman family inside and out. And, goddamnit, she kinda did.)

———————————————————————————————————-

"Blurgh," she decides one morning, rolling over in her cot. "Leave me to die."

But Boimler is not as forgiving of her truancy as Mariner lets herself be. He's already in uniform, shaking her shoulder. It's like being on a ship. And not a cool ship. One of those dinky ones on water from the bygone era. "C'mon, get up. I will not be held responsible for you missing your shift."

"You don't have to babysit me," she pouts.

"Someone has to," he rebuffs, with that casual fondness that told Mariner she had the boy hook, line, and sinker. Most days Mariner loves how much her friends care, how they go out of their way to try and help. Today is not one of those days. "Up. I'll replicate a hose, don't test me."

Mariner flipped him off.

"You're not, like, actually sick, are you?" Rutherford asks, coming up to press a hand to her hip. He's a touchy guy. Mariner likes that about him. "Because I will not be okie-dokie if you keel over the entire shift."

"I can be persuaded with blood samples," Tendi chirps, scrolling through her daily routine.

"'M not sick. 'M nauseous," each word comes out like pulled teeth. "Side effect."

"Of?"

"Nunya."

"Mariner," Boimler whines. "We both know the Captain'll haul me into her chambers for a report if you don't come. I cannot handle that pressure today."

Tendi pulls something out of her personal shelf with a triumphant cry, and then there's a needle in Beckett's neck. The world slowly begins to right itself again as the Orion casually pulls her into a sitting position, showing off her now-empty injector with a jazzy wiggle. "I've been keeping them on hand to help with your symptoms," she explains casually, as if Mariner's info isn't private, as if Tendi hadn't hacked the system to help her deal with this.

"D'Vana," Becket says, in all seriousness, "you're a goddess."

"I still want those blood samples," she tells her, grinning ear to ear. "Your physiology is so interesting! Being under the beams but refusing to be healed all the way for your badass scars has left some seriously neat outliers."

———————————————————————————————————-

"They may... want to do some tests."

"Oh, bullshit." Mariner rolls her eyes. "Bipolar isn't new."

"No, but it is uncured."

"So is every goddamn mental illness."

"Exactly!" Uncle Les held up his hands. "You know how medical can be."

(Tendi makes it okay, she reminds herself firmly. Tendi would never harm her. Or, well, if she did, she'd at least warn her beforehand. Tendi's heard plenty of stories of her clocking assholes in the jaw for less.)

———————————————————————————————————-

"It's like you're a whole different person," Ransom marvels over their weekly beer night, and Beckett bristles.

"Am not," she snaps back. "I'm still the same psycho badass who'd fight you over the last martini."

Ransom shakes his head, looking disappointed in himself. "Bad choice of words. But you're a lot... calmer? You talk slower. You're thinking things out more. People can actually have a conversation with you."

"It's like pulling teeth," she admits cheerfully. "You know how hard it is to argue when I talk like a grandma? What the hell am I supposed to do?"

"Listen to the other side and find compromise?"

"Hmm, no, gross."

He snorts and takes a long swig. Weekly beer night is also, arguably, a strange aspect of the newly medicated Beckett Mariner. Ransom had done everything short of begging Freeman to let her have a different mentor. And as obnoxious as Ransom was, she kind of got it? They'd always mingled like oil and water. Alcohol hadn't exactly fixed the situation, but it had made it more bearable on both of them.

Ransom swishes his beer in his mouth and swallows. Beckett opened her mouth to mock him for it, but he beat her to the punch. "So, uh, freshly diagnosed orrrr..."

"The fuck, Jack? Did you go snooping on my files?"

He levelled her a very flat look. "Mariner, your twisted ass mental state has been a long-time bet on the Cerritos. I just happen to know what mania looks like."

"Huh," she said, not having known that. "No, long time ago. Blipped on the radar after my first PTSD scan, so... six years ago? Seven?"

Ransom, damn him, can do basic math. "You were, what, nineteen? Twenty?"

"Yeah, man. I had a lot of messed up shit happen to me in my late teen years."

"Huh," he echoed, not exactly sounding surprised by that. "That damn war ruined all of us."

Mariner, deciding not to answer that, slugs her beer. "So, Jack. You win that bet?"

"Heh, nah. I found the whole thing invasive and rude. I put down for brain worms."

"Rude."

———————————————————————————————————-

"What if... what if they like me better... stable?" Mariner asks quietly.

Uncle Les pats her shoulder, nodding sympathetically. "They might."

"But I'll still be me. I'll just be less hyper."

"So they'll like diet you more. It's normal. You're.. a handful, Beckett."

(Better a handful than complacent. Ransom gets that. They hate each other, but they at least understand each other.)

Carbamazepine Prices: Trend, Pricing and Forecast

Carbamazepine is an essential medication commonly prescribed for managing epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, and bipolar disorder. It is an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing drug that plays a significant role in controlling seizures and stabilizing mood swings in patients with specific psychiatric conditions. The price of carbamazepine varies depending on various factors, including the country, manufacturer, generic versus brand options, and market demand. It is critical to understand the influencing aspects of carbamazepine prices, as it directly impacts the accessibility of this medication for individuals who rely on it for managing chronic conditions.

One of the most significant factors influencing carbamazepine prices is whether it is purchased as a generic or branded drug. Generic drugs, which contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name counterparts, are typically more affordable due to lower production and marketing costs. On the other hand, brand-name versions of carbamazepine, such as Tegretol, tend to be more expensive because of the additional costs incurred by the original manufacturer for research, development, and advertising. However, the availability of generics has significantly lowered the cost of carbamazepine, making it more accessible for a larger segment of the population.

Another factor influencing carbamazepine prices is the country of purchase. In developed countries with established healthcare systems, such as the United States, Canada, and the European Union, carbamazepine prices tend to be higher compared to developing nations. This price difference is primarily due to varying healthcare policies, insurance structures, and the regulation of drug pricing in different regions. In some countries, the government negotiates prices with pharmaceutical companies, and the cost of medications is often subsidized or partially covered by national health insurance programs. In contrast, in countries where there is limited healthcare support, the cost of carbamazepine may be higher, especially if the medication is not subsidized or covered by insurance.

Market demand and competition also play a role in determining carbamazepine prices. If there is a high demand for carbamazepine in a particular region, pharmaceutical companies may raise the prices to reflect this demand. Conversely, if competition is strong among multiple generic manufacturers, the price may decrease as companies attempt to capture a larger share of the market. The entry of more generic versions of carbamazepine into the market tends to create downward pressure on prices, benefiting patients and reducing the financial burden on those who require long-term treatment.

The distribution channels also have an impact on carbamazepine prices. If a medication is sold through specialty pharmacies or exclusive distributors, the price may be higher due to added distribution and handling costs. On the other hand, carbamazepine available through general pharmacies or directly from online platforms may offer more competitive pricing. In some cases, patients can reduce costs by purchasing the drug in bulk or through discounted pharmacy programs, further influencing the overall price of carbamazepine.

The price of carbamazepine can also fluctuate due to factors such as changes in raw material costs, manufacturing processes, and currency exchange rates. If the cost of raw materials used in the production of carbamazepine increases, manufacturers may raise prices to compensate for the additional expense. Additionally, currency fluctuations between countries can lead to price variations when purchasing the medication from international markets. Import duties, taxes, and shipping fees can also affect the final price of carbamazepine, particularly if the drug is imported from another country.

In the United States, the price of carbamazepine has been a point of concern for many patients, as it can be significantly higher compared to other countries. While generics are widely available, the prices can still vary greatly depending on the pharmacy and the type of insurance coverage a patient has. Some insurance plans cover the cost of carbamazepine, but others may require patients to pay a higher out-of-pocket expense or opt for a different medication. To manage the costs, many patients explore discount programs, patient assistance programs, or look for online sources that offer more affordable prices for the generic version of carbamazepine.

In contrast, countries with robust national health systems, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, have seen more stable carbamazepine prices due to government regulation and the bulk purchasing power of national health services. This allows for a more predictable pricing structure, ensuring that patients have access to essential medications without facing overwhelming financial hardship. Furthermore, health insurance coverage in these countries often includes coverage for medications like carbamazepine, making it more affordable for patients.

The evolving dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry also affect the long-term pricing of carbamazepine. As patent expirations for brand-name drugs occur, more generics enter the market, leading to price reductions. However, the development of new drug formulations and delivery methods, such as extended-release versions of carbamazepine, may influence pricing strategies in the future. These newer formulations may come at a premium, although they offer advantages in terms of dosage frequency and convenience.

In conclusion, carbamazepine prices are influenced by a complex mix of factors, including whether the drug is generic or branded, regional pricing differences, market competition, and distribution channels. While the availability of generics has led to a decrease in the cost of carbamazepine for many patients, the price may still vary widely depending on the country, healthcare system, and other economic factors. As the pharmaceutical industry continues to evolve, it is likely that carbamazepine prices will fluctuate in response to changes in drug formulations, market dynamics, and international trade policies. Patients should be proactive in seeking out affordable options and exploring assistance programs to manage the cost of carbamazepine, ensuring they have access to the treatment they need without financial burden.
