Title: trileptal
Post by clavers on Apr 7^th, 2003, 8:42am

Anyone familiar with trileptal. This is an anti-convulsive drug that is also indicated for CH. It is fairly new on the market. I just started taking it.

Here's a few links I found for trileptal:

http://www.trileptal.com/index.jsp?checked=y this one, from their maker, Novartis...

http://www.fda.gov/cder/consumerinfo/druginfo/trileptal.htm this one from the fda...

It's mostly used for seizures and epilepsy. I've seen something mentioned that it can be used for bi-polar disorder too. There are other people here that take meds like this - they can probably be more helpful in details of how the med works for CH.
