Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Seizures: I have taken the drug for about 6 years with positive results for seizures. The seizures have subsided to about 1-2 partial complex seizures per month. I do go through periods of depression, especially when the prescibed amount is changed. I'm currently taking 1200 mg in the AM and 1500 mg PM. It's probably the best seizure medication I've taken to date, and I've been on almost all of them at some point in my life over the past 30 years or so.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) : My neurologist prescribes Trileptal for Photophobia and Phonophobia resulting from massive hemorrhagic stroke. The symptoms are inordinate sensitivity and abnormal reaction to lights, action, sounds. I often experience visual and aural hallucinations. This medication seems to lessen, not completely abate the symptoms noted.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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).
