In reply to Trileptel success stories?, posted by tensor on January 29, 2005, at 5:24:53
I had tried every mood stabiliser and I would either have a bad reaction to it (rash, psychosis etc.) or it would not work. Trileptal is a great med for me. It is weight neutral. You can take it with most meds. The main side effects I had at first was sedation and nausea but both went away.
It is the same as Tegretol but has an oxygen atom attached to it's chemical makeup. This atom is what makes it have less side effects than Tegretol and have no contraindications with other meds.
If you looking for something that is going to help your depression more than mood swings, lamictal is the one that most people would try first. In my case Lamictal made me more depressed and gave me brain fog.
Are you bipolar type 2?
