Hi Staceysweets,
Welcome to the forum! My advice to you is to speak to your Dr. about going off the Trileptal to the generic and to get good detail about the drugs speak with your pharmacist, I have found they know much more about meds than some Drs. do. Whatever you do change drugs slowly and stay away from grapefruit or grapefruit juice because the enzymes in the grapefruit can mess up the trileptal. Here's wishing you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
