Bipolar Disorde
"I&#039;ve been on Depakote, Lithium and now Trileptal.  Trileptal has given me absolutely no side effects, no weight gain and it controls my mood.  I was bumping into walls, throwing up, feeling like I was high and eating everything in sight on Depakote.  I gained so much weight.  On Lithium, I did well, but couldn&#039;t deal with the gastrointestinal issues, as well as urinating every other hour, and being thirsty all the time.  Nothing quenched my thirst.  This medicine is like taking a vitamin and it has stabilized my moods for almost 5 years now."
