Seizure Meds

Hi, I have been reading about suspected links between Hep B shots and AA. I can tell you my doctor Ron Paquette at UCLA is sure my AA was caused by my seizure medication tegretol (carbamapizine). I am devestated that a medicine I needed so desperately has almost killed me. I now am tranfusion dependent and my platelets rarely go above 29-30 and I need blood bever month. I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it. Debbie S
