> I am a little surprised that your doc didn't start you off with the "newer", "improved", less side effects of tegretol, which is trileptal. It may not have as much as a track record, but is showing just as effective, minus the blood issues that may arise.
> http://psycheducation.org/depression/meds/trileptal.htmTrileptal hasn't been studied as much though. It's also more expensive than Tegretol and it is not approved for any psychiatric indication. Psychiatrists in the UK don't use Trileptal, although they are generally quite conservative!
