I'm worried my husband hasn't been sleeping well and took a l50mg trileptal tablet last night to see what it would do. Now he's been sleeping all day and acting wierd and slurring his words. I'm worried. I took it for a while and it didn't do a thing to me. Could this be responsible? Thanks Phillipa

Hi PJ,
I expect the side effects will be gone by tomorrow. Drowsiness and slurred speech are common anticonvulsant side effects.

Trileptal 150mg? My step dad takes 600mg daily for epilepsy. He's fine.
Did he take anything thing with it?

If he hasnt been on any kind of mood stabelizer before, I guess he could have a reaction like that. As you know Phillipa, I started taking trileptal, (but I waited until the weekend in case i had side effects like that) but I didnt..could be because i have been on lamictal and my body is used to it....
