warning on tegretol - gave my relative deep mental health issues and anger issues

It is difficult to explain the anger and possession that would come over this person when they used tegretol.

Firstly - the person seemed to lose all social skills, and could speak to themselves and have loud arguments with themselves for about 4 hours a day. This happened for about 8 years. The person still speaks to themself and doesn't seem to be aware of people around them noticing. This also ties into the anger issue, they seem constantly angry and this is why they need to talk incessantly. Several people would feel uncomfrtable around them because of the way they would be spoken to, it wasn't really speaking, more like raging at people.

I also mention the loss of social skills because whenever this person would speak to you, it felt more like they were talking to themself but talking at you, like they wre constantly mumbling. Almost like they were just taking their anger out on you but talking to you. The lack of empathy and social awkwardness this created is difficult to explain.

I also noticed these highly energised violent rages where they would try and do about 10 different things at once, almost like they were on cocaine and just rushing about like an energised rabbit.

I'm not saying this as an insult - but the person seemed a lot stupider. Basic things became difficult for them to understand. This could explain their unemployment. This could tie in to the anger issue. Maybe no employer could handle the person's personality and impatience.

I have no evidence for this - but I am convinced the neighbours moved house because of the person. That's how loud and lacking in self awareness the person eventually became.
