Trileptal is an antidepressant that is used to treat mania and bipolar disorder. It works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain to stabilize mood. It may also be used to help with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is important to note that Trileptal may also be prescribed as an alternative to lithium for patients who are at risk of lithium toxicity.
Like all medications, Trileptal can cause side effects that may be managed by taking the medication as directed. Some side effects are more common in those who take the medication, such as nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, and dizziness. If you experience any side effects, talk to your doctor as soon as you can.
