"would be helpful if reviewers included dose; i&#039;m at 600mg (300 twice a day) and this has worked &#039;like magic&#039; to slow me down. i used to feel nearly constantly anxious, irritable and visual and auditory input would overwhelmed me. certain people&#039;s voices felt like my ears were being poked; eye contact was overwhelming, like i was receiving too much input. certain smells were like an &#039;instant headache&#039;. trileptal regulated my sleep cycle first, which was always a huge issue - now it&#039;s 10:00 pm to 5:30 am almost the same every night with none of the previous wake-ups and morning exhaustion. i am one of the ones who has the &#039;low sodium&#039; side effect but what a great side effect - i get to eat more salt. and my blood pressure is lower."
