>So, maybe I will get over the tiredness?
Yes, I hope so. You will probably be able to tolerate a higher dose in a few weeks. Tegretol induces its own metabolism - this means that taking Tegretol regularly causes it to be metabolised more rapidly. Initially, even small doses can feel very strong but this doesn't necessarily last.
>Would Trileptal be safer and not make me as tired?
Possibly, but not necessarily, and Tegretol has received more study than Trileptal for psychiatric purposes.
