Optimal daily dosage: 800-1200 mg. Rarely, some adults may require 1600 mg/day. As soon as disappearance of seizures has been obtained and maintained, reduce dosage very gradually to minimum effective dose. Children 6-12 years: Initially, 100 mg in divided doses on first day; increased by 100mg/day until best response obtained. Maximum daily dosage: 1000mg.

Trigeminal neuralgia: Initially, 100 mg twice daily; increased by 200 mg/day until pain is relieved, usually at 200-800 mg/day (occasionally, 1200 mg/day). Reduce or discontinue Tegretol, if possible, at intervals of not more than 3 months.

Mania and bipolar disorders: Initially, 200-400 mg/day in divided doses (400-600 mg/day may be used in acute mania); increased gradually until symptoms are controlled or a total daily dose of 1600 mg is achieved. Usual dose is 400-1200 mg/day in divided doses.

With lithium, neuroleptics: start with 100-200 mg/day and increase gradually. Daily dose > 800 mg is rarely required.
