Hello everyone. I've been on Tegretol for seven years. I've recently got some really good insurance (at last) with a prescription plan and am going to talk to my doctor about switching to trileptal. An old nuerologist of mine once suggested trileptal, but the tegretol is much cheaper. He said that trileptal has less side effects than tegretol. I also know that trileptal can really lower your sodium levels. Tegretol can hurt your liver really bad. Anyways, has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with trileptal? I'm sick of tegretol, but it works. Comments are appreciated

so I was on Trileptal for more than two years, and it certainly made me feel a little cloudy in the head, I went off of it completely and am only on keppra now, and my siezures are better controlled than before. You may as well try trileptal, but my experience with it was not good. -
