Hello, Theresa! How are you?

Trileptal contains the active ingredient Oxcarbazepine and it can take about 4 to 6 weeks to reach its full efficacy level in the body.

Learn more Trileptal details here.

If it's not helping after that time period, then you should consult your doctor, because it may not be the right medication to help you.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, blurred vision and headaches.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I just started taking Trileptal in the hospital 2weeks ago. So far I see no improvement, in fact I think my depression is now worse. My back which was already bad and painful now hurts constantly. I'm drowsy and off balance and now suffer from daily headaches. I'm sick to my stomach. also. Are these common side effects? I'm tired of feeling bad is there hope in sight that it might actually start working at some point? or should I be talking to my doctor about alternative medications.
