In reply to Trileptal sweats..., posted by Sheilac on September 24, 2012, at 6:03:31
> I love Lamictal /trileptal combo, but I am having sweats from trileptal. Will this go away? Do I need to reduce the dose and go low and slow with trileptal?

> I didn't have this problem last time I took trileptal. I think it is a great med, even combined with low dose Lamictal.

Trileptal will reduce the effectiveness of birth control drugs.

> Will this go away?I think you should tell your gynocologist about your drug treatment. Perhaps he can develop a dosing strategy that would offset the reduction in hormones that Trileptal causes.
In the meantime, I would like to see you remain on Trileptal 600 mg/day along with Lamictal.
> Will this go away?
It can get better.
Make this thing work! Get on with life! It is within your grasp. Don't let this opportunity pass you by.
