Ruchie,

I took Tegretol for more than a year, and although it did make me a little tired, I still drove---and I went out in the sun! I don't think you have to give these things up just because you're on the medicine.

Now I wouldn't recommend going to the beach and sitting outside in the blazing sun for 5 hours and I wouldn't drive cross-country by myself if I were you, but you can go out in the sun and you should be able to drive around town.

The medicine is supposed to help you live as normal a life as possible and it should improve your quality of life, not make you a hermit!

Also, are you IBS-C or D? Because I noticed you said you're taking Klonopin. I take it occasionally, and when I do, it makes me C. I know everyone's different, but I just wondered if you noticed that it made your C worse.

I hope you can find a therapy group soon. I'll pray that God will open some doors for you!
