Hi Maxine,
I guess I find the Trileptal helps depression as it doesn't make it any worse like the other mood stabilsers do.
I think maybe it does have anti-depressant properites, as carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are chemically related to the Tricyclic anti-depressants eg amitriptyline.
The anti-manic effect is definately more stronger though than any anti-depressants quality, which is a good thing for bipolar i guess lol
Good to hear your getting along with trileptal too : )
Kind regards
Nick
