Trileptal and geodon

I've been taking trileptal for a only a couple of days, but I've had an immediate onset of night terrors in addition to having constant joint pain. I've noticed that these are commonly listed side effects.

From reading the posted comments, I noticed that many people reported experiencing losing sensation in their tongue. After taking geodon for five years, I have started experiencing something similar in that I lose feeling in my tongue, but it also appears to swell or otherwise make it difficult or impossible to breathe.

I've taken cogentin (sp?) to help with this, but it hasn't really made a difference. The numb tongue and inability to breathe seem to be brought on by anxiety and although are similar to anxiety attacks, tend to be a little scarier as my tongue literally blocks off my esophogus (sp) making it (sometimes) impossible to breathe.

I started taking trileptal to eventually be weened off the geodon as not being able to breathe isn't really an option. Can somebody p.m. or post a reply to let me know whether the loss of sensation in their tongue is just that, or if it is accompanied by trouble breathing?

Thanks!

My son has been takiing tripeltol for over a year, he is only 11 yeard old; he has been expresing extreme aggresive behavior in the last year or so. He can not communicate very well what he is feeling, but he is in extreme disconfort (unhappy, aggressive, mad, grauchy, etc.) I am starting to believe that trileptol is the cause; he is also taking geodon and abilify, which are suppose to control bal behavior. However, nothing is helping. Am I in the rigth track believing that trileptol is the cause of his bad behavior?

I've taken Trileptal for over 2 years and now I'm up to 1500mg for Bi Polar and other mental conditions I remember when I first started taking it I was so out of it! And now kinda not with it since my dr. keeps raising the doses! I'm also taking Geodon and Lamictal all high doses so belive it or not things are begining to look clearer from me eyes but I'm still unable to hold a job! But is refussed for disabilty! The trileptal has helped me this far I just have to live with the side effects!
