trileptal

Avatar m tn ve seen 3 of the best in town and after 2 - 3 weeks they all seem to give up and say take the klonopin.) That just seems like a cop out.
1134609 tn?1269272200 I currently on Lamictal, Neurontin, and Klonopin. However, there has been discussion of weaning off of the latter medications and adding a mood stabilizer to the mix. However, I am very sensitive to medication; Seroquel kicked me into a manic episode. Given this fact, what are some of the effective mood stabilizers for mania? What are some of your experiences with said stabilizers?
491030 tn?1242424766 Trileptal, Norco, Klonopin .... I just have the Neurontin because she gave it to me to see how I did with it but I was to scared to take another pill so I just left it alone but someone said it would work for WD..
Avatar m tn Yes right now I am taking lithium and trileptal. I was on lamictal and trileptal but had to switch to lithium as my insurance allowance for medication has run out and lamictal and trileptal costs about $500.00 per month. Befor the month is out I'll have to go to lithium and depakote until I can figure something else out.
Avatar f tn t reccomend one over the other but speak to your psychiatrist about any of these options (or others listed on that site which is clinically accurate). And Klonopin which I take is longer lasting than Xanax and is used more long term as an anti-anxiety medication (among others). If needs be ask for a referral to a mood disorders specialist. There are other options and one should be able to help you.
2047903 tn?1330187549 I was lucky and after 3 procedures have been pain free and medication free for almost 4 years. So I was able to wean off the Trileptal under doctors orders.
Avatar f tn 1.5 morning and night, along with a whole host of other tablets. Too many to name. I am a walking medicine chest. Getting hooked, well, happens, to longer term users. I would imagine they will take you off it once you make your switch over from one tablet to the other. In other words you won't be on it that long. So don't worry yourself. I've been hooked once before on xanax and no doubt some day I will have to come off this too. I will face that problem when the day arrives.
Avatar m tn I would like to take the 2mg xanax at night and a longer acting benzo during day if thats possible. But whats gonna be the easiest and comfortable way to transfer totally to klonopin with that 2mg xanax dose at night and what would be the most comfortable way to transfer to klonopin. I've made transfer from restoril to low dose valium in the past no problem but 4mg xanax daily is slightly more diffficult im assuming.
Avatar m tn There is not definitive medical treatment for depersonalization and derealization however antidepressants such as SSRIs (prozac, lexapro, celexa, paxil, zoloft etc) and benzodiazepines (used for anxiety, such as valium, klonopin, ativan) have been used with some success in some patients. Counseling by a psychologist may also be helpful in some cases.
Avatar f tn The combination of Klonopin and Trileptal really works for me. The pain of TN is nothing that can be put into words.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced swollen glands and itchy eyes when taking trileptal? I've only been on it now for 3wks and am currently on 75mg along with 375mg of Keppra twice daily. I don't have a rash but am wondering if this is just a cold or side effect from meds. I called the nurse yesterday at docs office they suggested being checked out by PMD, any suggestions? I dont have a fever or any other symptoms? Thanks for the feedback.
420308 tn?1203041262 During those 10 years I was prescribed a number of different combinations of medications like Risperdal, Trazadone, Paxil, Trileptal, Klonopin, Geodon, to name a few. Some of those combinations had horrible side effects and never really relieved my anxiety or depression. Now I'm on 112.5mg of Effexor ER, 200mg of Lamictal, 60 mg of Buspar, 1200 mg of Neurontin, 600mg of Seroquel and .5 mg of Xanax ER as needed.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm new to the sight but have been doing research on Trileptal and MS. I currently take Trileptal for Partial Seizures (my seizures are well controlled with it) but whenever I miss 2 doses in a row (which I obviously try not to), I experience numbness and tingling in my face and head. I know these are symptoms of MS and I know Trileptal can be used for MS patients to help with nerve issues. I guess my question is should I see my neurologist?
Avatar f tn Some people just take medicine, some people undergo psych therapy and medicine, and some just go thru therapy. Kim Bassinger, the actress, she went the therapy-only route and made it through. Me, I went through therapy and medicine, took a year of exposure therapy to get around the big attacks, and I still take the medicine more than ten years later. It all depends on the person as to what works for them.
Avatar n tn Hi. I was diagnosed with ATN 14 years ago. The pain has been well-controlled with neurontin until 3 weeks ago. I had an exacerbation of pain, most likely brought on by dental work. The pain was an 11 on the 0-10 scale. Since the pain has only calmed down to a 7, my neuro added trileptal with the neurontin. The trileptal is being titrated and I'm at 750 mgs per day right now.

Avatar f tn Due to the severe burning sensation I have in my hands from my current MS flare up, my neuro has put me on Trileptal. I have read great things about this med in regards to TN but not much about peripheral nerves. Anyone have any experience with this med for burning sensation NOT on the face? Hope you all are well!!
Avatar m tn A little background: I was dosing 2.0 mg Klonopin (for anxiety) and 0.5 mg Halcion (for sleep) steadily for about a year till last October when I began to develop mysterious "tolerance and withdrawal" symptoms that scared the hell out of me. I lived with these progressive symptoms till December (I was concurrently being trialed on Trileptal - failed & stopped) when my doctor told me that I had built up a tolerance to the klonopin.
Avatar n tn Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your reply, I ve taken a holiday by the beach i went for swiming walking trying to laugh and forget about my problems and it helped a lot, Now with the calmepam i have reduced the dose gradually i started to take half of the tablet for 5 days then i stopped for 2 days then i started to take quarter of the tablet every two days till i stopped now (almost from 5 days) is it okay?.
1011826 tn?1274492712 After 3 months, I am down to 900 mg of Trileptal, 2 mg Xanax, and 150 mg daily, down from 1800 mg daily of TRileptal originally, and a VERY slow introduction of Lamictal into my system. Of course this happens on the weekend, otherwise I would have called the pdoc by now-- anyway, let me know. Help is appreciated!
Avatar f tn I was on 4-2mg a day and I tappered myself off Klonopin.. its a really good drug I just had been on Xanax and did not want to rellive that nightmare so after a number of years on them I started to pop them in half and take 1/2 less each day. Now I spread this out over a long time and I was able to get off them. I do still take 1 - 2mg at night to sleep.. I have tried to get off it several time but have the most weird dreams.. I know I can wean it down I just dont botther too right now..
Avatar n tn currently 6ml in the a.m. and 8ml in the p.m. (the concentration is 300mg/5ml.) About 2 weeks ago, his dose of Trileptal was increased from 6ml twice a day to the present dosage (because he was still having some mild break-through seizures). Around the same time, his teacher has mentioned that he is not "listening" well to her directions, and sometimes she has to re-explain her directions to him.
Avatar n tn well if he hasn't been taking the klonopin, clonazepam for very long and he wasn't taking it everyday,at that low of a dosage I doubt the drug is to blame. Benadryl, diphenhydramine can actually make some people worse if they have anxiety. This is in a lot of otc drugs like tylenol pm, so I wouldn't go that route. The thing about lack of sleep is that it is a vicious ailment. Lack of sleep brings on intense anxiety which brings on lack of sleep and so on.
Avatar m tn I am on Trileptal, Lamictal, and Luvox. The only reason why I am really confused is because we haven't made any medication changes for quite a while now. I was very stable for a while, and still am emotionally, but these nightmares and sweats are getting a bit concerning. I just don't like not knowing what is going on with my body. Can your medication start giving you side effects even after being on them for a long time.
Avatar m tn I am on 900mg of trileptal and had a healthy baby boy in 2013. I am still on the same meds and currently 10 weeks preggo again. Good luck.
