Trileptal~ ‘Triangle- Lapse- Toll’. (Pyramid, Motion, Payment). Perhaps It’s Pyramid Spake?.
Does That Mean Anything To Your Thoughts On That Medication Personally?.
Or Am I Going Off On The Deep End?. LOL
Yes I took it a few times but it didn’t do much for me. I’m not sure what it does actually lol
Hi @Schztuna
I’ve been on Tegretol for decades.
Trileptal is extremely similar to Tegretol chemically but it’s usually weaker than Tegretol in controlling mood swings.
Have you considered Tegretol?
Hmmmm…
I dunno, but I see where you’re coming from.
As far as I know, this is also an anti-epileptic, hence the “-ep” part.
Oh okay, thanks for the reply @Jonnybegood
From what the pdoc said, it’s a mood stabilizer that targets mania.
Hiya @Wave,
Thanks for your reply. I actually thought about tagging you in this post, since you seem to have a fair amount of experience with mood stabilizers.
Did look up Tegretol, but noticed it can cause weight gain, so I ex-nayed that one. Seems to help a lot of people though.
Pdoc recommended Lithium at first, and I was like “noooo way,” due to all the blood work and everything that comes along with it.
I brought up Lamotrigine, but she said she was worried about the rash, and that it would take way too long to titrate up to a suitable dose. Plus, she believes the “ups” are an issue, and apparently Lamictal is better for “lows.”
I’m only on 150mg of Trileptal at the moment, so I’m not sure what good it will do… But I’ll give it the ol’ college try.
Thanks again

Interesting I think they confused my initial psychosis for mania
Actually usually it’s hard for me to tell the difference between psychosis and mania
But I know I have at least 1 of the 2
They prescribed me this with Wellbutrin. It was one of the first meds I ever took. While the Wellbutrin made me psycho and hallucinate, the trileptal didn’t do too much. Just my experience I hope it helps u tho
Yes overall, Trileptal is a good med.
Good luck with it @Schztuna!
