For Bipolar Disorder "I have been on 1800 mg Trileptal for 3 years now for rapid cycling manic bipolar. 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 1 mg Abilify along with it, it worked okay, 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 it's right, you will know!"

"So I basically just started Trileptal, but so far, I’m doing terrible. At first, it wasn’t too bad, I was in the mental hospital for days, and I took two pills a day and did fine. But now that I’m home, I’m nuts. I’m constantly getting angry, but I am on my period right now, so that might be it. I had a confidence boost, but now I’m just upset and always tired, like the tiredness sucks majorly. Hopefully, after a little while, it gets better. So far, not so good though, I don’t mean to get so angry, but I am now."

For Bipolar Disorder "I have just begun Trileptal as a treatment for Bipolar I. I was previously on Seroquel 150 and was unable to function at all within 45 minutes of taking it. I experience rapid cycling and more manic episodes than depressive ones, so the Seroquel helped me sleep. However, I noticed weight gain almost immediately and immense hunger - almost ravenous. When it would wear off, I was extremely hostile and agitated. The side effects seemed to outweigh the benefits. So far Trileptal has left me with no side effects except for a slight headache, and I have smoothly transitioned out of my manic episode. I feel like I may need a sleep aid, however, still experiencing a bit of insomnia. I can only hope the success continues!"
