Trileptal (oxcarbazepine): I have taken Trileptal 75 mg with 25 mg of Effexor at bedtime
for 3 years with outstanding results for anxiety/ panic attacks.
Sleep improved dramatically with this combination of drugs.

oxcarbazepine: I have been using Trileptal for bipolar for several years now and it has been a life saver for me. For many, many years I went through many other drugs and none helped me as much. Every once in a while I take something else to help out (right now it's Pexeva) but after two or three months I can go back to Trileptal alone for a year or so. I had a really bad weight problem with Depakote but on Trileptal I have managed to lose that weight and more.
Thank you Trileptal for saving my life.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine): I have been on Trileptal for nearly two months. I have tried many medications because I am drug resistant. I take three tablets during the day. When I take a tablet I can feel a very comfortable soothing in about 30 - 40 minutes. This lasts for a few hours then I need to take another tablet. This is the best medicine yet. At least Trileptal provides quick relief.

oxcarbazepine: After my inpatient hospitalization. i was stabilized with trileptal. no other medicine was able to minimize my mood swings. mentally i feel very clear. the only drawback i can say is slight weight gain; however, i'd rather deal with weight gain than ups and downs. thank goodness for the medicine.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine): I have been on Trileptal for a month now, combined with a small amount of Zoloft, I feel wonderful. I have taken other mood stabilizers in the past, and this by far is the best one for me. I am a lot calmer (not a zombie).

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine): I actually use this medicine for my bipolar disorder. So far I have had no side effects and no problems with it. My mood has improved a great deal and I don't have anything to complain about. This medicine is a life saver for me!
