I've been taking 1,200mgs/dailiy for bipolar II and it seems to work well. Sometimes other meds have to be added...especially for depression (*NOT* good as an anti-depressant mood-stabilizer), but it works well for me and it doesn't really cause any side effects...except in the beginning of treatment you might sleep a lot and have a hang over. Oh well. It happens. As I said, its good stuff, but not always appropriate for monotherapy...you may end up, like I did, taking numerous other drugs for anxiety, sleep, etc., but trileptal is pretty good stuff.
