In reply to switch to trileptal from lamictal?, posted by tendency on March 29, 2005, at 18:50:12
> What are your opinions on trileptal vs. lamictal? I'm BP II and have been on lamicatal (100mg x 2) for about 10 months. Seems to work ok but I'm still fairly depressed. Might trileptal be worth a shot? How do its side effects compare to lamictal? Thanks.
I'm also BP Type 2. Lamictal made me more depressed so I switched to Trileptal. Minimal side effects. It made me a little sleepy and dizzy but I take it at night and after 2 weeks it didn't have those effects. Trileptal is weight neutral. It has no antidepressant properties however if the Lamictal is making you depressed then it should ease up.
What else so you take?
