Thanks Lu!
I agree with you, Tegretol is definately stronger than Trileptal - I often think of them like Marlborough, and Marlborough Lights with Trielptal being the light version.
Your definately right they are somewhat the same carbamazepine (tegretol) & oxcarbazepine (Trielptal) the only difference being is that Trielptal has an oxygen atom added to the chemical structure of the drug, hence the "ox"-carbazepine.
I so wish I could continue to take Trielptal, but I got a rare kidney pain side efect from it.
I hope all goes well with the psychiatrist and your daughter today :-)
Kind regards
Nick
Ps Did you get my babblemail, about if the topamax helps with sleep and the decreasing sweating side effect? (i'm not sure if it worked when I sent it)
