Bipolar Disorde
"I have been taking Trileptal (oxycarbazepine) for years now for bipolar. I&#039;ve tried so many other drugs and they either didn&#039;t work or I couldn&#039;t live with the side effects. Trileptal has been a life-saver for me! I also take low doses of a Wellbutrin and Celexa and .5 klonapin 1xday for anxiety. My doc wanted me to substitute Abilify for Trileptal and I said, &quot;no way!&quot; I compromised with her and take .5mg Abilify with the rest of the my meds for a week or so when I get depressed. So many docs have tried to steer me to the newest drugs for bipolar-I&#039;ve tried them, don&#039; like them, and I will stay on Trileptal. I only gave it a 9 instead of a 10 because I have to take other things with it, so it&#039;s not a 100 percent cure-all."
