Question:
Do you have any experience using Trileptal as an
alternative to Tegretol? There is no need for blood
tests when taking Trileptal and the side effects seem
to be less extreme. I have the BPD along with several
other diagnoses: I take 60mg of Prozac and 1500mg of
Trileptal along with 3mg of Clonazepam. So far, there
has been no improvement in my condition (treatment
has been ongoing for about 2 yrs.) Should I drop the
Trileptal and switch to Tegretol?
Thanks...
Dr. Heller's Answer:
While theoretically Trileptal should work, I've been
very disappointed in it as a BPD treatment. It
doesn't seem to help. It can be very helpful in
bipolar, but not the BPD.
The side effects are approximately the same for both,
although blood tests are not needed with Trileptal.
