> Anyone have personal experiences to share? I am replacing Lamictal with Trileptal. I was gaining weight like crazy on Lamictal even though it's supposed to be weight neutral. It also made me tired if I took it in the AM and gave me insomnia if I took it in the PM. Go figure. For the first week Trileptal is only at night and no side effects that I can tell this morning. How sedating is it though? Next week I'm supposed to increase to 300mg in the AM and 300mg in the PM.

>I take 600mg before bed and 300 in the morning. The bedtime dose is somewhat sedating, but the morning dose isn't sedating at all. I've taken 600mg in the morning before and didn't notice anything. I haven't experienced any real side effects, except that prolonged exposure to sunlight bothers me now and that may be the culprit.
