Oh the hell and the new meds...is this good?

I was taken off my Paxil a while back and felt great.  Then my doc threw me for a loop and told me that Invega could be elevating my prolactin levels.  Well, after a blood test, it was determinedthat this was the case.  He put me on Tegretol and it was hell.  Now I am on Abilify.  I wish I could say more, but I don't even know where to start.  Abilify is better, but I don't feel like I did before the Tegretol.  I just want to feel better.  How long will this Tegretol take to get out of my system?  I used to be able to take deep breaths and just relax.  I can't seem to get there anymore...
