I think you mean instant release medication.

That's my first thought about why your experiencing being tired again. I think it is important to talk to a physician any how. Perhaps you can call your psychiatrist and let him/her or their receptionist know tat this is a problem and if they can possibly let your physician know what to do if he/she can't see you any sooner. Hopefully that helps.

Probably not.

OP: Did you always take the extended release version? Did the pills change at all? Are you sure it is the same brand as before?
Tegretol is notorious for drowsy feeling. You should talk to them and see if they feel like a different medication is more appropriate.
