Trileptal and Lamictal are like apples and oranges. Trileptal, if you compare it to Tegretol, is more of an antimanic mood stabilizer that works from above. Lamictal works from below as activating antidepressant, and at 100mg and above has mood stabilizing effects for rapid cycling bipolar.
I have read about Lamictal causing insomnia, so do not take it at night. A good place to look for Lamictal reports is Remedyfind:
