> I'm curious about trileptal.
likewise
Is it available in US?
not sure,probably yes
Why isn't it prescribed instead of Tegretal?
very expensive ($220 p/m in AUstralia), and only covered if prescribed for epileptic purpose (not bipolar)
I understand that it is the same but has a much better side-effect profile.
Yes, basically the same just 1 oxygen molecule added to make it more permeable for absorbtion with higher potency. Supposedly interacts better with other drugs.
Have people found it to be helpful for depression as part of a cocktail?
looking into that very much myself, i'm curious as to its moclobemide interraction, also modafinil, and effexor, mirtazapine.
