What is the effect of trileptal for depression?
Patient: Can you please tell me what would be the effect of taking trileptal if one is depressed, but possibly not bipolar? Is it possible for the drug to help depression, or does the conceived help of the drug confirm a bipolar disorder? I feel like i might have depression, but i do not exhibit behaviors of spontaneous highs to lows, or manic highs. Yet this is what my doctor prescribed. Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writingTrileptal is Oxcarbazepine. It is a mood stabilizer, however its role in depression alone (non-bipolar) is not well established. Kindly ensure a comprehensive discussion with your doctor in this regard. Hope that helps,Dr A Rao
