Hi There,
Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling the greatest at the moment.
While people can offer their personal experiences, whether someone else is taking a higher dose of tegretol doesn't mean that its the right answer for yourself, and I think that it is safe to say that your doctor who is treating you is the expert at determining what is the most appropriate medication regime for yourself.
I am also wondering if you are seeking any therapeutic support; as it could assist you with learning how to handle some of the ovewhelming thoughts and feelings that you are presently experiencing. Medication is not the sole answer to your thoughts and wants of self harming going away it comes with a lot of work and your want to change your behaviour.
I know that this isn't the answer that you probably wanted but I did want to share. If you feel it necessary have a chat with your GP about his concerns of not increasing your meds he may be able to give you a solid rationale around his thinking.
take good care of you.
