In reply to Trileptal Vs Tegretol Experiences, posted by Nickengland on March 30, 2005, at 11:34:55
Long term Tegretol user here at low to moderate dose (Dx'd Bipolar II w. mixed states & lots of anxiety).
Twice I switched to Trileptal equivalent dose. Found it to be very unlike Tegretol. Trileptal was "activating", lifted my mood a bit, but exacerbated my mixed states and didn't help at all with anxiety like Tegretol did.
I am *very* meds. sensitive, so don't consider this "typical". From what I read, Trileptal is great for many people, and less side-effects than Tegretol.
Hope this is helpful.
