Hi JOBEE--

Welcome to the site, but then again--I registered today! : ) I was diagnosed about a year ago too...Anyways, I just thought I would respond. I have been telling everyone about Trileptal. I never had any side effects, and take it in the morning and at night. Everything is wonderful and being sensitive to medication to begin with and this leaving no side effects, I have appreciated it because I do not feel like I am not on medication.

I hope you will feel better soon and good luck with everything... : ) *Sarah

Hello Sarah
I am pleased to hear from you. I have to tell you that my day was much
brighter just after the messages I have gotten since yesterday.I was
hesitant to go to a forum and reveal something about my bp but now I feel such a release.I hope you will too. I am not manic, just require a mood stabilizer thus far. Just having this correspondence is great. There are many BP's that are in denial.I think I was. It is nat a plague like society may make us feel. I am a better person now that I have found some answers and medication. Thus for Lamictal has been all right though I have wondered about trileptal. I am happy for you that you
are doing so well. hang in there! let's talk again soon..........jbee
