I have been feeling absolutely okay as the attacks have been minor, as now, I only take one tablet of tegretol 100 per day and I can bear the pain as it’s just like a little pinch at times, so the medicines are helping me a lot.

I, ADJ, from India, was suffering from severe constipation since last 6-7 years. It was associated with generalized weakness and heaviness in the abdomen. I was facing difficulty in gaining weight. My stools were semi-solid, sticky, hard and required straining. It was associated with low appetite, low feeling and vague body aches. Due to these complaints I was mentally sad and depressed, would have lot of negative thoughts. I was losing interest in my studies. Within 3 months of starting the treatment, I could experience a very good response. My constipation was much better, hardness of stools reduced, there was infrequent fullness of abdomen and stools would only be occasionally unsatisfied. The weakness and low feeling reduced, depression was much better. I started having positive thoughts and my interest in studies also improved. With 8 months of treatment; My appetite improved and there was gradual weight gain. The stools were much satisfied and normal in consistency with no cosntipation. The depression and negative thoughts reduced and my approach to wards life became more positive.
