Bipolar Disorde
"Would be helpful if reviewers included dose; I&#039;m at 600mg (300 twice a day) and this has worked &#039;like magic&#039; to slow me down. I used to feel nearly constantly anxious, irritable and visual and auditory input would overwhelmed me. Certain people&#039;s voices felt like my ears were being poked; eye contact was overwhelming, like I was receiving too much input. Certain smells were like an &#039;instant headache&#039;. Trileptal regulated my sleep cycle first, which was always a huge issue - now it&#039;s 10:00 PM to 5:30 AM almost the same every night with none of the previous wake-ups and morning exhaustion. I am one of the ones who has the &#039;low sodium&#039; side effect but what a great side effect - I get to eat more salt. And my blood pressure is lower."
