Trileptal and lips

itchy hands and feet, numbness of lips as well as cheek area
I was prescribed trileptal after having surgery for trigeminal neuralgia. I underwent a microvascular decompression surgery so the side effects are far less than the pain I felt prior to surgery. although if I dont take the medication as presribed down to the hour the pain comes back so its like 6 in on and half dozen of the other, oh I almost forgot I also am very forgetful after being presribed this med.

Wow, I guess it's not just me. I take trileptal for my bi-polar disorder and also have terrible nightmares so bad that I am constantly having to change my sheets and/or nightshirt. I also occasionally have numbness on my tongue and lips that may be caused from this medicine.

I've been taking this now for quite awhile.. side effects numbness in lips tongue, headaches, forgetfullness, I know what i want to say but can't forget where i put things. I take this for my bipolar.. causes anxiety, weight gain, and recently after taking medication about 10 min. My sinuses and cheeks burn really bad cheeks get bright red.. It almost feels like when i sniff salt water for sinus swelling. It last for about an hour after taking med.

Numbness in lips and tongue about 30 minutes after taking my dose. This numbness usually lasts about 20 minutes or so. Vivid nightmares accompanied by night terrors (screaming). Frequent headaches and chest pains. Musculo-skeletal pain, concentrated in the joints. Aggressiveness and grouchiness.
