This is the first time you took Triliptal? What is that drug?

How long have you been on it so far? Is it in place of another drug?

Either it is the med, or you have a bad case of Vertigo and maybe your regular PCP can help. That must be an awful feeling. I am not sure what causes Vertigo. A ear infection maybe. Did you fall recently?

I hope you get some answers tonight. Please don't drive.

Take it real easy.

without changing doses or anything, after a mild virus, i was getting major paresthesia after my morning dose... a lot in the face, but all the way to the arms and torso. EXTREME KNOCKOUT tho if i managed to stumble around through the haze, it would pass.

trileptal has a two stage metabolism, as the drug is absorbed it rapidly converts into its active metabolite... it takes about 3 hours for half of the dose to get converted... and then it goes more slowly (trileptal t50 = 3 hours, active metabolite t50 =~ 12 hrs).

If for any reason your body is metabolizing it more slowly than before... you can go toxic. also trileptal can cause low sodium levels and other blood anomalies. PLEASE have a blood check ASAP.

I don't like the sound of this with Trileptal mixed up in it

I really hope you are ok soon.
