> ANTICONVULSANTS: I was just floored. I brought up Zonegran, Topomax, Trileptal, etc. She said 'absolutely not.' She said that there are no scientific studies proving that they work any better than placebo. She said she did use Topomax when it first came out, but doesn't think it was effective. She said Lamictal and Depakote are the only anticonvulsants she's willing to use. :-(
>Trileptal seems to work in 1/2 of patients in this study:

I'm taking it right now and the sides are almost non-existent at 900mg
