"i had a horrible experience after being prescribed tegretol while in the hospital to treat my bipolar disorder. within a few days of starting it, i began experiencing the shaking, nausea, etc. but the worst was the extreme anger/irritability i started experiencing. it got to the point that i would have horrible rages and felt like i was completely losing control. i kept asking my doctor to take me off the tegretol, but he wouldn&#039;t. during one of these rages, i ended up fracturing my wrist because i hit a door so hard. after that, he agreed to take me off of it. after talking to other patients, i found out that a lot of them had similar experiences with this uncontrollable anger.
