I have been put on this drug call Trileptal for the pass 6years now and it has work very good for my bipolar, i don’t know if any one out there has used it but i would recamoned it to any one i have had bipolar since i was a child. so let me know what you think about this drug..
Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) is an antiseizure medication that is similar to Tegretol (carbemazapine) but is generally considered safer. One of the benefits is that Trileptal may help as a mood stabilizer without causing significant weight gain. Some potential negative side effects include a reduction in the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, a reduction in sodium levels, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sedation, clumsiness, and poor coordination.
so far i have never had any of the side a effects like that from it. and they keep a watch on my sodium levels, and i do have seizure also but i take some thing diffrent for it but thanks for the info joe good looking out..
My daughter aged 26 is married to a quiet man and has 2 children under 2.This last 6 months has been very tough for me as she has changed – now she tells me she is trying to get pregnant again as she loves babies, she is writing a book to a deadline, she is running a web-based business from home and she is shutting me out from her life. She is incredibly controlling – she offers me a day and time to visit then cancels for silly reasons. She refuses my practical help like taking her out, doesn’t answer the phone or email.I must obey her rules- I am not allowed to bring new toys or treats, I must not arrive unannounced and the children are not allowed chocolate or TV. She has had a few odd episodes since she was 15 but nothing like this. I cannot say anything about doctors or my worries as she will either get angry or go silent at become even more distant. Any comments?
