Has anyone had any success taking the medication "Trileptal" for Bipolar disorder?

Answer:
my son also takes trileptal for his bipolar disorder. He has been on it for about 3-4 years. and it is the only one that he feels more under control with. We also placed plant lights in all his room lamps, because he is a night worker and misses out of the sunlights benefits. Good luck to you and take care.

Trileptal is a drug that affects the nerves and brain. It works by decreasing impulses in nerves that cause seizures. Unless your doctor is prescribing it as an "off label use". For example Topamax is FDA approved for migraine headache's but the psychiatric community also prescribes in in a "off label use" for bipolar I disorder.
