> Hi Larry. I take Trileptal and the nausea and dizziness went away in about a week. Plus I take it at night so it wasn't too much of an issue. Tegretol I couldn't even walk straight on. I've been on all the mood stabilisers available in Canada and Trileptal has been the best one for me in terms of effect and side effects.

Thank you, everybody.
Inherent in the discussion, it seems, is that feedback tends to come from people who have used these drugs for mood effects. My mood is within stable parameters already. I need a drug for an off-label use. I don't need a mood stabilizer. Maybe that's why I'm having such a problem with adverse effects.
That said, I will discuss Trileptal, nortryptiline, and my own doctor's earlier recommendation of valproic acid, as possible successors to Topomax.
