He said he has had great sucess with it and it seems to be working well for me.

Is anyone else out there on this drug?

Has anyone even heard of it?

It is not on this sites drug list...
I've taken Trileptal for a number of years with pretty good results. Prior to that I took Tegretol for a long time. My Dr. told me the same thing about Trileptal as yours. Good luck with it
Thanks for this!
