"trileptal changed my life. after anti-psychotics not being a good add on to my lithium and lamitcal because of heavy non-functional side effects/not tolerated. i searched so long and hard for something that might be able to help stabilize my mood (mostly mania). i have been taking tripetal at a low dose of 600mg per day for 3 weeks, in addition to my current medication, and just in the first week my mood evened out, i felt normal or whatever normal probably feels like. i am now able to go into therapy and tackle some of my addiction/impulsive behavior that i did not have the capacity to do before when i was not in my right mind. i am so grateful for this medicine for my bipolar disorder."
