I have been slowly increasing my dose of trileptal over a week and a half of taking it- and I am only on 450 mg right now- But I have an extreme light sensitive headache for at least a week now; along with lowsy appetite; numb tongue; insomnia; extreme fatige during the day- massive lethargy; and a smashing frontal headache- alot like a csf tear headache. I am borderline personality- possibly bi polar- and also have the intense seizure like muscle jerks... Is this normal? I don't feel as moody- as the ability to focus on such an emotion is not possible- it is as if I am numb...Please help....
