Elenapap11 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 My doctor suggested taking Trileptal, an antiepileptic drug. Has anyone used it? Did you have any side effects? If anyone knows please reply as soon as you can because the doctor wants me to start it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormie74 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yes... I tried it about three years ago. I felt great for two weeks, then got a SEVERE rash from top to bottom and felt horrible. Doctor took me off it right away, but it took three weeks for the rash and other symptoms to go away.

Elenapap11 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Thank you for the prompt reply Caron.I decided not to take it before i consult another neurologist.Did you take something else after that?Did it help you?The doctor suggested trileptal in order to see if my dysautonomia symptoms will go away.He said that if they do,then that is what is causing it.Ofcourse he didn't make any promises.If this doesn't work we'll have to keep looking.What type of symptoms did you have when you were prescribed trileptal?sorry for bombarding you with all these questions.It's just that i've taken antiepileptic treatment before and i got severe acne and migraines which i got rid of a year after i stopped taking it.I'm too scared to go through that again.kind regardsElena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
