Anyone try Trileptal and if so, what was your experience?
I'm not sure abt side effects caused by Lithium yet. I was taking Risperdal
at the same it. I just stopped taking Risperdal so I'm
going to taking note of what's no longer happening.
I had the following side effects: a lot of weight gain,
cognitive dysfunctions, unable to read, forgetting how
to pronounce simple words, forget driving rules and
mixing up the gas and brake petals.
