In reply to trileptal sleepiness?, posted by Peter S. on December 11, 2002, at 13:21:41
Hi Peter,
Wow, that's a really low dose. I'm taking 300mg in the morning and 600mg at night. The nightime dose does make me sleepy which is good.
From my experiences, just about every med I have taken has made me sleepy at first. It's supposed to go away after your body gets used to it. The Trileptal has helped my mood so much, I really haven't noticed the sleepiness. Although, my doc originally wanted me to go up to 600mg in the morning also and I haven't because I'm afraid it will make me fall asleep.
It will be interesting to hear what others have to say.
How's your mood?
