I tried Trileptal, and loved it. Dr shrink took me off of it 'cause I was having nasty side effects that turned out to be a larger issue than just one drug. It's at the top of my list to try again.
This drug was used in Europe for a good ten years before it came here. It's Tegretol with ummm- either an oxygen or carbon atom on the tail and this has gotten rid of the interaction problems with certain antibiotics. It's only labelled for epilepsy in the states, so that may be why it isn't listed in a psych drug book. The book may also be out of date- the Gormann book was just revised (fourth edition) but there are a zillion copies of the third sitting on store shelves, way out of date already.
I recommend it.Miss Liz
