I don't think any meds are affected by pot!
Like "d'oh"... why not try and find out for yourself?

Thought Trileptal was a mood stabilizer and a dangerous one at that. Heck of lot more dangerous than weed.
They say it's only 2% of the population that develop life-threatening hyponatremia from Trileptal, but since I've heard of it several times now, I'm pretty sure it's much higher than 2%.
If you start Trileptal and start vomiting at all...STOP IT, immediately.

i've been on trileptal about two weeks now, and it has really cleared out my head and allowed me to focus. and yes, it is a mood stabilizer.

has anyone else had experiences with mood stabilizers and weed?

I take Lamictal and smoked a few times and I just got high, but one time I had bad weed and got paranoid, so did my friend who doesn't take meds. I would be very careful though. I don't smoke or do anything anymore.

Been taking 1200mg trileptal for a couple yrs. Haven't had any problems with. Haven't smoked pot while taking it either.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
