SLS,
Thanks for the info :) The article also says that it has been tested for treating patients with bipolar disorders as well. Have you seen anything regarding Trileptal being more effective for BPD than for bipolar? Just out of curiosity. Because I was screened for BPD (more than once), and was not diagnosed as having it. I don't have severe issues with impulse control, so I don't know how Trileptal helps with that- but I do get very manic (and depressed). This med really helps to even things out. It also helps to reduce anxiety (I've found). I could see how these benefits could easily cross over, so that Trileptal could be used to treat other disorders.
