Hi Scott
Sorry to hear the Trileptal is not going so well anymore :-(
I know this may not seem very postitive too mention but I thought I'd copy it from the psychoeducation.org website as it may be of some interest to you to read with regards to Trileptal (note this part is not from the page soley about Trileptal, rather than the overall page covering mood stabilisers in general...

Trileptal [revised April 2005]
Trileptal looked really good at first. It has less risk than carbamazepine and fewer side effects initially (more though, later, in my experience). Trileptal is somewhat similar to carbamazepine in terms of those who it helps, though there is concern that it just doesn't have as much "punch", i.e. that is is not as fully effective. Every time I revise this I have fewer patients on Trileptal alone. I think it might be zero, or very close, now.
-------------------------------------------------
Kind regards & I hope you manage to reap back the benefits you have had from this medication. I personally didnt think it would poop out so quickly?...could this not be one of the other medications pooping out instead?...i.e Lamotrigine??..I've heard this does poop out and the anti depressants certainly do, I can't imiagine Trileptal doing this not after such a short period of time?
