I think this is helping me...but i think i still have to get the dosage right. It stopped my racing thoughts for a while but it has stopped but I think its cuz I got to up the dosage. But I really feel that its working, just ned to tweak the dosage.

The best mood stabilizer Ive ever been on.Has worked very well in controlling my ill mean and nervous mania. I would like to tell anyone considering this med. at first I was very nauseous and dizzy.I started taking it at night and that all went away.When the generic came outI started taking it. NO WAY it made me so sick.I have to take the brand name.

I took Trileptal for four days but it didn'[t go very well. On the fourth morning I couldn't even hold my head up to drink a cup of coffee. It didn'[t work very well for me, but it may work for you.

Gained about 20 lbs on this med, the good thingis that the meds are working, but theeffects of them are short lived, two months max before dosage has to be increased,
