What Causes Itching Sensation While On Carbamazepine?
I weigh 107 was taking carbamazepine 200mg I tablet by mouth twice daily. When taking at night I was itching. Had no side effects during the day. Was told to take benadrly. Monday I woke up dizzy and vomiting. Ended up in the hospital. Told I had too much dosage in my system to stop it altogether and I was experiencing vertigo. Go home with nausua medicine should be better Wednesday. Went home called nurse pracitionor who prescribed this medicine was vomiting all day little water vomited when ate applesauce. was back in the hospital again stayed over night. Do you agree that I should stop this?
Based on the history you have shared, the use of Benadryl alongside carbamazepine may have triggered these symptoms as both may cause the following symptoms. Drink more water. If nausea persists domperidone may be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
