Hi,
I just started taking Trileptal last night and now on my second dose. I feel so drugged! I am afraid that I am not going to adjust to this by monday to go to work. The neuro started me on half a pill every 12 hours (150 mg). This is why I hate taking drugs! But, I'd say if the meds end up working and end my migraine and face pain it will be worth it.
My Mother has been on Tegretol for about 25 years and I never think of her as being drugged. She has bipolar disease and it barely keeps her from cleaning my entire house when she visits! LOL I hope that I can tolerate this med the way she tolerates the tegretol.

I live on a lake and my family is down on the dock swimming and playing and floating on the rafts. I would love to be taking part but I just don't think I can function. Sorry for the whining. This has me feeling a little depressed. I have been dealing with a headache for so many days now, but I usually just push through and can deal with the way the other medicine makes me feel, even though it only works to take the edge off.

Anyway, how long do you think it will take to adjust to the medicine?
Thanks,
Melissa
