Finlepsin (carbamazepine) is usually used in doses of 200 to 400 mg per day, and in sensitive or elderly patients, a starting dose of 100 mg may be sufficient.
Side effects such as neck pain and coordination disorders may be symptoms of the medication and it is worth informing your doctor about them. It is not recommended to reduce the dose yourself without consultation, as discontinuing or reducing too quickly may cause pain to recur. Your doctor may decide to adjust your dose or change your treatment depending on the severity of your side effects.
I encourage you to provide your doctor with information about the symptoms you experience and any side effects related to the medication you are taking. Such notifications help in better supervision of medicines available on the market. You can read more about reporting adverse reactions in our article:
