In reply to Which anti-seizure med is most like Trileptal?????, posted by qbsbrown on April 17, 2006, at 8:45:58
Zonegran is another drug that comes to mind. It is a relatively clean drug and does not produce weight gain. That was my experience with it. Zonegran has not been studied as well as Lamictal for depression. I would probably go with Lamictal if your chief complaint is depression. Most people take 200mg.
Be sure to use the Lamictal starter pack or follow the manufacturer's recommended titration schedule.
25mg x 2 weeks
50mg x 2 weeks
100mg x 1 week
200mg maintenance
