I switched from Trileptal from Tegretol regular in March. I feel so much better on Trileptal physically.
Tegretol gave me constant heartburn, burning throat, dry mouth, metallic taste in my mouth, awful constipation, and I always felt off balance.

When I switched to Trileptal, my mood improved so much because I began to feel so much better. I could taste food, and enjoy it without heartburn or pain. I like Trileptal, though I have had 3 med induced hypomania reactions on it. And it really dries out my skin and hair. I also can't be in the sun or I get a rash. I was taking 750 mgs with good result, but my skin got too dry. So I am taking 375 and managing. I am sure it would be a better mood stabilizer if I could take more of it...But the dry burning skin is just too painful. So I am still searching for the perfect mood stabilizer. But Tril. with neurontin are working ok for now.

Hope that helps.
Chloe
