"i took trileptal over 2 years ago and had horrible side effects.  started at 1500mg with no change in mood and with no side effects.  raised it to 2400 mg (max dosage) and was in a constant drunk/high haze all day.  20 minutes after taking it i couldn&#039;t walk in a straight line.  my parents would spend an hour some mornings trying to get me to wake up.  my managers wouldn&#039;t let me work cause it was too noticeable i was &quot;high&quot;. trileptal seems to help a lot of people so this isn&#039;t to discourage people for taking it.
