Trileptal v. Tegretol

I know Trileptal has a better adverse event profile...but are the two agents equally efficacious when it comes to working as anxiolytics and/or as mood stabilizers?

Just a chart comparing both but trileptal is what thought the reason I stopped taking it $150-180 a month I saw on one site. Phillipa

Thanks for the handy little chart Phillipa. I priced both drugs on my insurance website and was very surprised to find that Trileptal is much cheaper than Tegretol. Hmmmm...cheaper, safer...no reason not to talk pdoc into making the switch!
