Hi,
Does anyone know much about Trileptal? My doctor put me on it after I requested it because I read that it makes you feel calmer. I know everyone is different, but if there is someone out there who has taken it, I would like to know your experience. Thanks.

Thank you for the the information about the blood sodium checks. She mentioned that to me, but did not it was that important. I will definitely follow up with her about that.

I've been on it for 20 years, couldn't live without it. It takes some tweaking but it was my saving grace. Make sure your doc does bloodwork every 6 months that include checking the trileptal level. Im on 600am 900pm
