> I know this will sound weird, but trileptal made me nauseous as well and someone on psychobabble said to take a bit of salt with it ... so I did and it worked. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that trileptal lowers the sodium in your body.

> MaximeThanks for that advice. The nausea I experienced with it wasn't always constant, there were times when it got worse and then faded. I never got a serum sodium level before and after, so I can't say that was what caused it. It is promising that you note that after a couple of weeks it faded. However, in my case it seemed to slowly *worsen* with time and was dose-dependent.
