Trileptal

Has anyone had issuses with cold/sores coming up since using Trileptal? I switched from Lyrica to Trileptal because I was gaining weight and not eatting any thing more than normal nor excercising any less. Ever since the switch I have been getting fever blisters on the tip of my nose. I have NEVER had these before. Good thing about it now...it's almost Christmas. The Rudolph look kinda blends in with the season. Just curious...

I've been taking 2-300mg tablets a day for 6 months and haven't had any problems with anything. But, as I'm sure you know, different side effects for different people. I take 4 medicines a day and haven't had a single side effect from any of them that I'm aware of.

Thanks I haven't and this may not even be related. Just grabbing at straws.

Well, it makes sense. If you never had cold sores before and now do, it's the first thing I'd be looking at. Have you looked at them as a side effect on the data sheets?

A question -- I am familiar with Trileptal from a family member, but not relative to MS?

Hey You! If you check this site for side effects of this drug, listed close to the bottom is:

- sores, ulcers, or white spots in mouth or on lips


May ask your doc! TC! DD

- skin rash

So again, check with doc! Feel like you are a teen again huh? (pimples)

Sores or rashes of any kind, could mean Stevens Johnson syndrome. It is an emergency, go to the er or MD right away.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
