Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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!

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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.

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).

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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.

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: After years of trying to treat depression I have finally found the perfect combination 600mg of Trileptal and 200mg of Wellbutrin, twice a day. My Doctor told me when you're on the right thing you will feel like you aren't on anything. That's the perfect way to describe how I feel. I have NORMAL mood swings, instead of wanting to rip someone's head off at the drop of a dime, or being completely numb. I am diagnosed as Bipolar II. This medicine has changed my life and I hope if Trileptal isn't the answer for your treatment you will keep trying until you find the right thing. It is possible, and there is light on the other side.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Trigeminal Neuralgia: It's great for trigeminal neuralgia pain. Aside from forgetting words and not being able to spell and weakness, the side effects are not too terrible. It is MUCH better than the TN pain.

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) for Trigeminal Neuralgia: Compared to taking Tegretol for TN I would give it a 10. Much less problems with taking and no Tegretol level or white blood cell counts needed, and I can take a lesser dose mostly get by with 2 a day with the other medicine it was min of 3 but mostly 4 a day. I do feel much better physically with the smaller dose of course. kinda looped for a week switching medicines as you take both to wean off Tegretol and onto Trileptal. I definitely would try it.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: Excellent Source Material.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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!

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: I have been taking this medication for 3 weeks now and have noticed that my moods have stabilized. I feel like this medication is really working in that respect and helping to make mine and my family's life much better. So far, this medicine works!

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: After reactions to Lamictal and Topamax- Trileptal didn't space me out- and levels my mood. I take it with nothing else for mild bipolar episodes. No weight gain and my hair loss is not as drastic- if at all. Lamictal and Topamax made it fall out.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: The geodon could only contain the racing delusional thoughts and this medicine seems to balance the act out.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Anxiety: I have tried to use Trileptal for about a week but I'm having gastrointestinal problems with bloating and slowed digestion. Don't think I can stay on it but it does work good for my anxiety.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: I've been on Depakote, Lithium and now Trileptal. Trileptal has given me absolutely no side effects, no weight gain and it controls my mood. I was bumping into walls, throwing up, feeling like I was high and eating everything in sight on Depakote. I gained so much weight. On Lithium, I did well, but couldn't deal with the gastrointestinal issues, as well as urinating every other hour, and being thirsty all the time. Nothing quenched my thirst. This medicine is like taking a vitamin and it has stabilized my moods for almost 5 years now.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Seizures: After using for 8 months, I developed an itching rash. I could not stop itching and the rash got red and covered my torso, arms and legs.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: If not for this medicine, I would have failed college due to the bipolar disorder. Although I got some side effects at first, and whenever my dose is upped, they last for a day or 2. My moods are way more even, and combined with Klonopin I can finally sleep!

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Trigeminal Neuralgia: I developed TGN in 1997. This is not the typical TGN since it was caused by a stress ulcer about 3/4" from the left side of my mouth over the junction of three facial nerves. About a year after the ulcer healed, the facial pain abruptly developed big time. I was first prescribed Tegretol, but made me feel like a dope. Trileptal was then prescribed and I have cut it down to only 75 mg at night. Occasionally take 150 mg Trileptol 1 X when my facial pain really tunes up. Also rub in a little dab of Metrocream topically over that painful area that numbs my face just enough to minimize any pain.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Seizures: I have taken it a long while and it seems to be working. I have less seizures.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Bipolar Disorder: 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.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Seizures: I have been taking Trileptal for almost 1 month now and its such a life saver. I have been suffering from partial epilepsy for more then a year since I have been going to the hospital for almost 5/6 months and they could not discover what the problem was so I had to see a private doctor who diagnosed me with partial epilepsy and put me on Trileptal. As soon as I took these tablets it reduced the attacks to 1 every two days and after a month it completely got rid of it, so I am really happy with these. However, I do feel slightly drowsy after taking them but that does not matter since its taken all the seizures away which was my main concern since life just felt like hell prior to these. So I would definitely recommend it.

Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) for Seizures: Been taking Trileptal for about a year. Mostly because every 5 to 6 years have to change my medicine because I tend to get immune to them. Have taken Sodium Valproate, Tegretol and Carbamazepine over the last 30 years. With Oxcarb seizures are controlled but not totally gone. Also, am putting on extraordinary amount of weight, looking for other options for what is becoming an obesity problem.
