This mediicne was given to me as I was being taken off an antidepressant and has given me headaches, nausea, joint pain, and feeling of not being fully alert. I was started at a 1500mg daily dose and I think that is way too high for me. I have been at this dose for over three months and the doctors seem to think that the side effects are outweighed by the positives. I have felt more depressed since they put me on this but they don%u2019t worry about that it. I would rather have the antidepressants back at least, I could be a human with them.

This medication has helped me so much and with minimal side effects. I am also taking gabapentin and a low dose of Lexapro. This combination has finally made the difference. but everyone has a different body chemistry.

I have been on 1800mg Trileptal for 3 years now for rapid cycling manic bi-polar. I don't have the depression part like most do. I absolutely love Trileptal. For the 3 years before that I had tried a handful from Lamictal, Topamax and Wellbutrin. They all resulted in violent outbursts. For about 2 years I took 1mg Abilify along with it, it worked okaay but I would still get very annoyed with everything. So it then got paired up with Geodon and it's worked wonders for me! It may have taken 5 years to get it just right but when its right you will know!

The geodon could only contain the racing delusional thoughts and this medicine seems to balance the act out.

I have taken this medicine for about six months now. It has been such a life changer for me! I was on depakote as a mood stabilizer for my not terribly severe bipolar disorder. Depakote caused weight gain. Since I have been on Trileptal, I have lost 30lbs and feel great. I am just about to start my student teaching in college and I am more confident than ever that I will succeed with flying colors.

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.

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.

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).

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!
