Trileptal sucks, I took it for awhile, it worked but not like other drugs I have taken for bipolar disorder. It made me stoned for like four hours of the day! I will never go back to this drug, and you will have headaches like crazy!
Doctors have been experimenting with my brain chemistry since I was a kid. I’ve been diagnosed and fed a parade of meds to “see what works” . This is the standard of medicine in our day and in our time. Trileptal works for me, but you are the steward of your own health. If you simply hand yourself to someone else to go down a list of drugs and try them all out on you then you can expect to have a difficult experience. I speak of what I know. Head meds have side effects that might do all manner of things and often the patient is not informed enough to ask the right questions. It is important that you or someone close to you be aware of drug interactions and you make full use of that awareness. Trileptal is a powerful Med with mild side effects and after working together with my Dr and removing a different drug or two and playing around with my dosage for around a year Trileptal suddenly brought me out of the fog. Over-medicating had been a problem, misdiagnoses, poor follow up by physicians, all snowballs into years of being treated incorrectly and with little benefit to the patient. Participate. Educate yourself or have someone help you to know what you are taking, why you are taking it, and what are the likely side effects. We’re all test subjects and Trileptal tested good for me.

Ive been on oxcarbazepine for over a year and a half. My dose was up to 2400mg for about a year, then we decided to lower it to the “least effective dose” in June (after a year and a half). In the mean time I developed an interesting condition called vulvar lichen planus. It is a fungal infection of the vagina and surrounding area. Although the only fungal connection to trileptal is the occasional yeast infection, I am inclined to think this is a result as well. I tend to be very sensitive to psych meds and have gotten unlisted side effects to (ALL of) the ones I have experimented with. After running through the AAPs, the classes of ADs, and lamictal my pdoc finally determined that I might be “one of those people who is more sensitive to these medications.” YA THINK? Vulvar lichen planus is no picnic and must be “checked” (biopsied) every six months for possible cancer cell development. This is not something I signed on for. I am wondering just how much tissue there is down there to biopsy. That’s a lot of biopsies in an otherwise small area. Yes I have reported this side effect to the FDA.
