In reply to Trileptal - Help!, posted by PattyG on January 7, 2002, at 10:23:46
> ///Okay, my son had a seizure - doc prescribed Dilantin and that had too many side effects - he's now on 1200 mg. of Trileptal, but seems very emotional (for him) and I'm wondering if the medication could be a factor. He also said he had blood in his stool when he first started the Trileptal - is that a known side effect? I'm worried.
Trileptal and Tegretol can be activating and agitating for *some* people. You need to tell your doctor what is going on. Has your neurologist considered Depakote or Neurontin instead? He might find those more tolerable if he is sensitive to activation.
