Hi Ben. Trileptal is closely related to Tegretol *(carbamazepine) which is considered a gold standard for neuropathic pain. FWIW, I take Trileptal (for seizure prophylaxis) and haven't noticed any side effects. But I'm not a "med-sensitive" person. Still it generally has few side effects compared to Tegretol.
BTW, about the Remeron -- that tends to be very sedating in *low* doses, but this side effect decreases as you increase the dose. A lot of pdocs will start people out at 30 or even 45 mg because people tolerate that range better than 7.5-15. Zyprexa is generally really sedating, and it also lasts a very long time.
