Hi Holly! I can remember about 11 years ago getting very sick from Tegretol and becoming what is known as "ototoxic". I was allergic to the med and it threw my balance off so badly(it affected my inner ear) that I began vomiting and had to take meclizine to straighten my ears out. Perhaps this is what's happening to you, only in a milder form. Check with your regular doctor and see what they say. I really hope you feel better soon. Take care--Hopeto--
