Hi

PDoc says I am hypomanic. I am now up to 600 mg Trileptel. My eyes are wonky. Is that the Trileptal? In the meantime, I am happy in my hypomanic state though a bit worried I will go overboard. I was going to add something but it is gone ...

I never had any side effects on trileptal. However I did have blurry vision on lamictal. Since they are similar they may have similar side effects.

I got off the trileptal a few weeks ago but my side effects didn't include anything dealing with my eyes.
Thanks for this!

I've been on Trileptal for years and never had any crazy side effects, or any at all that I can recall..
Thanks for this!

I've been on 1500 mg trileptal and didn't have anything noticeable with the eyes or much else.
