i cross posted this to the Medications Forum (seemed appropriate). i am leaving the full text post in this thread all the same, since it's already here, however i think that the Meds Forum thread would be the ideal place to reply if you have added information regarding the med in general.

here is the thread in the meds forum:
New AED/stabilizer up for FDA approval - eslicarbazepine (Stedesa)

i think perhaps this thread could still be useful for us should we want to post comments regarding its impact or usefulness specifically for bipolar, at least, that is what makes sense to me.

i hope i have not confused anyone.
