No positive experiences : I've given trileptal two tries in the past year. Both times a maximum dose of 900mg led to tiredness and noticeable hair loss (after washing and combing). More importantly, it didn't work to alleviate bipolar depression, even after a month or so...it disappointed me the same way as did depakote. I also took 100mcg selenium and 50mg of zinc which did nothing to combat the hair loss. Also, 600mg trileptal did nothing to prevent mania.
