Trileptal: give me the down low. How do you like it? Is it effective? Do you have weird side effects? Etc. etc.

I'm terrified to start this med for some reason. The side effects list gives me side effects. I'm currently on 160mg Geodon, 300mg Wellbutrin and 2mg Klonopin a day. I had a single, solitary rage episode and pdoc put me on this. Seems to me he jumped the gun a bit. I haven't started it yet, but I am terrified of it for some reason. Any positive input would be appreciated. Thanks!

edit: If it helps, I've got Schizoaffective/BP1.
