Title: Trileptal ? Anyone ?
Post by UN solved on Aug 9^th, 2007, 3:46pm

It's easier for me to name the drugs I haven't done than it is to name the drugs I have done ::)

Anyways, I wanna know if anyone has tried Trileptal for clusters ? Experiences, good or bad ??

Thanks

PS. I'm ramping down and stopping the Lithium (for good!) ... it never helped :(

The last Histamine treatment only lasted 2 weeks (again) :-/ (But it was a nice 2 weeks!)

I tried trileptal, plus any other drug my nurologist could think of (not all at once). None of them, including trileptal worked. But who knows, it might do wonders for you. Give everything a try.

I tried Trileptal and had no luck with it. However, I would encourage you to try it. It can't hurt.

I have tried Trileptal, and it helped some, but went off of it when trying to get pregnant. I am currently on Carbatrol. That along with the verapamil broke my two year chronic period and gave me 6 months PF. The CH have ramped back up, but my neuro says I have a low enough dose that we can increase. So far, this seems to be the best for me.
