> Thanks for the info :) The article also says that it has been tested for treating patients with bipolar disorders as well.
I guess that should be expected since the cousin drug to Trilepal, Tegretol, has been used in bipolar disorder for so long.
> Have you seen anything regarding Trileptal being more effective for BPD than for bipolar?
I think I see where you are coming from. I don't think one can use their responsivity to Trileptal as an indicator of one illness over the other.
> I don't know how Trileptal helps with that- but I do get very manic (and depressed). This med really helps to even things out. It also helps to reduce anxiety (I've found). I could see how these benefits could easily cross over, so that Trileptal could be used to treat other disorders.
I hope that you continue to find Trileptal to be so effective. Mental illness sucks.
