Epitol for anxiety????

My doctor decided to put me on a new medicine today, because my anxiety was starting to break through with my buspar. It is called Epitol, or Carbamavepin..has anyone used it? Or even heard of it? If so, did it work?

it is a anti-seizure drug.....also used for bipolar disorder....dilantin is another anti-seizure drug that is sometimes used for anxiety..it blocks nerve impulses and has a side effect of mild sedation so therefore helps anxiety..as a rule these are not drugs of abuse nor habit forming
