Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Zeptol CR (carbamazepine) is a drug used for treating epilepsy (fits) and nerve pain. So, if you have any of these symptoms, zeptol cr may be continued. If not, there is no need to continue this medicine. Dizziness is a known side effect of zeptol cr.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
