Bipolar Disorde
"I have been on Triliptal for a few years and it helps a lot. Did see that it has a pain relieving effect, big time.  It decreases anxiety, helps with sleep, mellows me out and at times I can&#039;t feel like my legs which is amusing since I realize this med. has a big effect on decreasing nerve pain, muscle pain ..... any pain?   So, now onto the side effects:  Low sodium, decreased heart rate (for me anyway)  I also can&#039;t remember things, and when I read -- well that doesn&#039;t work out too well, but I try. I can&#039;t remember what I read.  I space out a lot. I also don&#039;t feel like eating.  I used to take Tegretol and that was awful, so I am pleased with this med.  I take 1200 mg per day.  It is hard with the 600 mg in the morning (I want to sleep)"
