I take Trileptal instead of Tegretol. The only advantage of Tegretol that I know of is that generic carbamazepine is pennies compared to Trileptal. I don't know if I can discern one side effect from Trileptal at 600mg/day; perhaps some slight sedation. There was some transient nausea the first few days. Overall, I'm impressed. For something so benign, it is surprisingly effective for my agitation, irritability, and sporadic crying out of nowhere. It also has a definite effect of slowing down my thoughts a little so I don't act as impulsively.
I have heard from many people that the side effects of Trileptal are negligable compared to Tegretol.
