drug symptoms

Drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DIL or DILE) is an autoimmune disorder, similar to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which is induced by chronic use of certain drugs. These drugs cause an autoimmune response (the body attacks its own cells) producing symptoms similar to those of SLE. There are 38 known medications to cause DIL but there are three that report the highest number of cases: hydralazine, procainamide, and isoniazid.[1] While the criteria for diagnosing DIL has not been thoroughly established, symptoms of DIL include fever, elevated blood pressure, skin lesions, and arthritis. Generally, the symptoms recede after discontinuing use of the drugs.[2]....

100% Q: Has anyone ever taken the drug tegretol to relieve neurological symptoms?

12 years ago I suffered an unstable fracture to my T12 vertebrae. I've been having some weird neurological symptoms such as tingling & pins and needle feeling in my legs and feet. My neurosurgeon prescribed Tegretol to see if it helps with my symptoms, so far it's done nothing. Has anyone else used this drug with success?

A:I've taken tegretol for TN....it is an awful drug that leaves you feeling like you have led in your shoes....if tegretol has not helped then it is possible that you do not have nerve pain because tegretol and nuerton are two drugs that definately work to eliminate nerve pain..maybe you need a higher dose.... it didn't work well for me untill my dose was higher....I took both drugs at the same time and became pain free...
