Hello @sadeyes. If you don't mind me asking, is trileptal (Oxcarbazepine) something you have been suggested to take? I am not a medical professional, but when I looked up the drug, I found that its main use is anticonvulsant for epilepsy, but it can be used as a treatment for depression and bipolar as well. Although this conversation is centered around epilepsy and seizures, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/new-medicine/, it may give you some insight in to some members' experiences taking oxcarbazepine (trileptal).

I would like to invite @beckysn and @mrser52 to this conversation as they have both discussed using trileptal or an oxcarbazepine medication for a mental health diagnosis. @sadeyes, you have discussed taking other medications on Connect, is there something in particular about trileptal you are concerned about?
