Hi my name is christina,
I am 20. I have been on trileptal for 2 1/2 months and I get heart pounding occasionally and buzzing in my head. It's scary. Does anyone relate to me? Please help!

weasel hey whats up how long did you take trileptal for and how did you stop it? Did you get any side effects from stopping? Did you stop cold turkey, or by the doctor cutting you down? It doesn't help me eathier. i get tired occasionally from it. Hey let me ask you a question. about 3 months ago i stopped seroquel cold turkey. I was on it for 6 years, but it caused me some anxiety and racing thoughts thats why i stopped it, but im back on it now. I stopped it for 1mnth and half and I couldnt sleep that whole time. I develpoed nerve sensations and numbness and panic attacks from stopping, but all i get right now still it nerve sensations. Its been almost 2 and half mnths now and they still dont stop. Would you know anything about this. Seroquel has caused me so much problems I cant even tell you..

Hi Christina,

I have been taking Trileptal for over a year now. I really have had no side effects. I feel great. You should mention to your doc that this is happening. It may not be the right drug for you.
