Hi! It's the Med Question again... Anyone on Trileptal? How much? Good, bad, or indifferent?
Thank you!!! Kelli
Thank you!!! Kelli

I was on Trileptal (and its generic version Tegretol) for several years and it worked just fine for me. However, I discovered that if I increased my dosage to more than 300mg I would get a nasty rash right across my chest AND I just found out that it can have a detrimental effect on other medications such as birth control. So I'm switching to Lamictal.
Hi there...I was on Trileptal for awhile...I can't remember much about it, sorry...I'm titrating up on Topamax right now, and it always causes memory problems at first, lol. I think it worked while I was on it, but I had to keep increasing the dosage. But keep in mind, that most meds don't work for me.
Try it, and see what happens. Good luck!!!
