I was just prescribed trileptal. It is given for many different reasons, not only for seizures. Depression effects the nerves in your body also and this med can help for depression, help with the chemical inbalance in your body and help calm things down. It treats nerve pain, and some patients with facial pain it is given to them. It is good for several different conditions, ask your doctor they can help. good luck, hope you get better too.

Interesting. Trileptal was prescribed a few times to bring down episodes of hypermania. Just goes to show how everyone's chemistry is different.

Hi all I know is theres a lot of things for depression like St Johns wort, niacin, vitamin b3, vitamin D, black seed oil, being around positive people, finding a positive support friends to be around, a good diet, and learning to love yourself. Depression sometime comes from a trickle down there meaning one bad thing happens and and something else bad happen it all comes from thing that has happen to us and we sometimes feel hopeless like giving ?? up but there's always been where your at that's willing to help others and I'm one of those people and society wants us to believe that were just all crazy when things don't go right and we need some kinda psychotic medicine to survive this madness not true from a survivor all these medicine are doing is making us depended on a drug we don't need anyway just a little advice
