"i&#039;ve been on carbamazepine for 1 week. my head is empty and, i don&#039;t feel like myself at all. feeling nauseous and, the only time i feel &#039;normal&#039; is when i eat. i have been doing more around the house but, it&#039;s like being on auto pilot. this is the first mood stabiliser i&#039;ve been on so, hoping i get my brain back soon or, i will definitely stop taking it."
