I was taking Trileptal for mood swings. After hearing a lot of great things about it, I took it for only a few days before I started having Tardive Dyskinesia side effects-- for me, this was a twisting kind of pain in my neck and back. It made it almost impossible for me to sleep. I finally got Cogentin to stop the twisting muscle cramps.

Maybe not everyone will get this type of cramping muscle pain; I get it with some neuroleptics since I took Haldol for years, and it is notorious for causing Tardive Dyskinesia. I don't usually have the TD, only flares up when i take certain meds.
good luck to all, I was hopeful Trileptal would work for me since so many people state it helps them and has few side effects.
I also thought I ate more while taking it. :-(

Hi Guys I have been suffering from chronic daily headaches since March 2006. Have been to 4 neurologists and they all confirm that there is nothing seriously wrong with me neurologically and they put it down to stress. I have tried herbal remedies, acupuncture, body stress release, dietician, exercise, pain killers, massage, physio, posture modifying appliance, bean bags and oils, ice pack, pilates, chiropractor, daily meds like inderal and trepiline and still, nothing has been able to give me long te...

I was given the fantastic news that my body doesn't like itself anymore. I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

My partner insists that he's not drunk & he's just very tired. He has slured speech, incoherent, unsteady on his feet & drops off to sleep in the blink of an eye. Could it be something other that drink related? or is he just pretending to himself he's ok?
