Hi Ritch,
sorry to hear about your nausea with the higher doses of Trileptal. Thanks for replying-very much appreciated.
I had to look at the bottle here. I'm taking 150 milligrams at night. Did you have any other side effects besides the nausea?
I'm also taking Klonopin, Lamictal, and Klonopin at the moment. My doctor is goin to start me on Celexa next week. Are Wellbutrin and Trileptal the only meds you take?
I hope it 'works' for you!
Pam :o)
> I got a headache from it when I was on it, but that faded. The side effect that didn't go away was the nausea. I wasn't taking too much either. I can tolerate only up to 150mg/day. When I went to 225mg-300mg the nausea got quite severe. This was my 2nd trial of it and this time I stayed on for about two months and it still didn't fade. That doesn't mean that the nausea wouldn't fade for you however. I'm on Wellbutrin and when I start it, I always get real nauseous, but it does fade. Your nausea could be dose-related-what dose are you taking, and what other meds are you taking with it?

But tonight was nasty. I had major nausea with (excuse me here) diarrhea, and noticed a headache for the last few hours. Has anyone experienced this with Trileptal?
