| 4 | Bi-Polar | Slight blurry vision and headaches. Some jitterness if I take meds w/o eating. After getting use to meds side effects sub-sided. Fiest started with 900 mg, then raised to 1200 mg now its 1500 mg.. I think this is the magic number | Trileptal is amazing. More in control of my outbursts, more level-headed. no more mode swings. able to stay in control most of the time. But I understand that anger is part of life and these meds help me control and not hold grudges.. great stuff..cudos to my Dr. for prescibing them.. | M | 52 | 3 weeks 1500 mg 5X D | 12/4/2012 | |
| 4 | Bi-Polar | So my side effect increased with higher dosage. I started with 900 mg, raised to 1200, then 1800 then 2400 mg. Vision blurry, hand tremors, gas, extreme anxiety. I lowered my dose back to 1200 mg(300mg 4x day) and it sub-sided some. My moods however are stable now.. Guess it took some time to adjust the meds for the magic number. I originally thought 1500mg was it.... | M | 52 | 7 weeks 300mg 4X D | 1/4/2013 | ||
