I've never had this
despite being on antiepileptic drugs for three-quarters of my life.

Maybe I got it all when I was younger, and it just passed me by in the haze of tests and assessments and so forth. I don't know. I looked it up to see if there were any special circumstances, and there are as many as you'd expect from any drug that affects your brain (carbemazepine). Although there is an amusing quote in Wikiped: "Carbamazepine may aggravate juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, so it is important to uncover any history of jerking, especially in the morning." Heh.
Maybe my pharmacists just don't give a shit.

I've been off carbamazapine for two months now
such a relief.

A relief? What did it do to you?
I've been on a - I assume - mild daily dose for 16 years now. I know it suppresses brain functions, so I wonder what exactly I'd be like without it, but I've never spent more than a few days without it - and anecdotal evidence does suggest I'm rather more active without it. Why are you relieved to be off it? I'm intrigued as to someone else's experience of the drug.
