> I got off Depakote cause I gained 30 pounds on it. (I think it messed up my metabolism and periods, too, but that's another story.) I had to quit Lamictal cause I got a rash. Trileptal has worked pretty well for me and I've thought, "Well, at least no serious side effects." Sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall...

I think the skin reactions described are very infrequent, and show up early in treatment. If you were going to get it, it would have showed up by now.I plan on giving Trileptal a try in the not-too-distant future if necessary. I wouldn't hesitate, despite this warning.
