I've been on it a couple years with absolutely no problems I can recall. I find it more helpful than Lamictal ever was, though I think they are somewhat similar? Well, both anticonvulsants anyway. It helped lift me out of depression when nothing else was working.

I've been on Trileptal since '09 and I love it. It kept me stable for years. But you know, depression decided to creep back in harder than I thought and now I just got a whole lot of stuff as they try and stabilize me again...

Trileptal never really helped me but it didn't hurt me either

It has helped me with no side effects. Depokote really helped me too but it made my hair fall out in clumps....good luck with it.

I hear many good things about it. I think we chatted about it, right? Glad you are giving it a shot!
