A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oxcarbazepine plus lithium (Trileptal) compared with oxcarbazepine alone in patients with bipolar disorder and in bipolar I disorder.
Trileptal is an effective medication for managing seizures and is used off-label to treat bipolar I disorder.
It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, and is available in a variety of strengths (up to 600 mg), depending on the severity of the disorder. A total of 685 patients were included in this trial; of these, 387 were taking oxcarbazepine plus lithium in combination with lithium (n = 277). There was no significant difference in response to oxcarbazepine plus lithium in the two groups.
Oxcarbazepine was well tolerated in most of the patients studied. One-third of patients did not get any relief from their symptoms, compared to 78% in the oxcarbazepine group and 73% in the lithium group.
Oxcarbazepine was also well tolerated in patients taking atypical antipsychotics, but the rate of weight gain and weight loss were minimal. Weight gain was similar in both groups.
The mean change in weight was 4 kg in the oxcarbazepine group, and 3.7 kg in the oxcarbazepine plus lithium group. Weight gain was also minimal. None of the patients in the oxcarbazepine group had been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. All patients in the oxcarbazepine plus lithium group had a baseline weight of 1.0 kg.
Weight gain was minimal in most of the patients.
Trileptal and oxcarbazepine were well tolerated in patients taking atypical antipsychotics, but the rate of weight gain and weight loss were minimal. Weight gain was also minimal in patients taking atypical antipsychotics, but this was not clinically significant.
The mean change in weight was 4.2 kg in the oxcarbazepine group, and 3.1 kg in the oxcarbazepine plus lithium group. Weight gain was also minimal in patients taking atypical antipsychotics, but the rate of weight gain was minimal. All patients in the oxcarbazepine group had a baseline weight of 1.0 kg.
None of the patients in the oxcarbazepine plus lithium group had a baseline weight of 1.0 kg.
Oxcarbazepine was well tolerated in most of the patients.
Trileptal was well tolerated in most of the patients.

Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder that causes alternating episodes. These episodes are often accompanied by symptoms of depression. Moods are often accompanied by irritability, mood swings, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness.
While mood stabilizers can help stabilize moods, some medications may not be appropriate for people with bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder often occurs when individuals experience manic or mixed episodes. These episodes can be severe or more severe than the symptoms of bipolar disorder alone. People with bipolar disorder are more likely to experience manic symptoms in addition to depressive symptoms.
This article provides information on the types of bipolar disorder medication that may be used to treat bipolar disorder. It also provides an overview of trileptal and other medications that may be used to treat bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder can be caused by various factors, such as a genetic or neurological disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by a manic or mixed episode. Bipolar disorder is treated with medications that help stabilize moods. The medications include lithium or valproate.
Treatment of bipolar disorder involves a combination of medications. For example, lithium is used to treat certain mood episodes (such as depression) and mania (an episode of mania).
Treatment of bipolar disorder with lithium or valproate is typically not effective in treating manic symptoms. People with bipolar disorder should be closely monitored by a health care professional, and any medication that is used to treat bipolar disorder should be used cautiously by the person suffering from the illness.
Lithium and valproate are FDA-approved to treat bipolar disorder. The brand name Trileptal is a generic drug, and Trileptal is a brand name drug. Both Trileptal and Trileptal (or Trileptal XR) are used to treat bipolar disorder.
Valproate is a newer medication that has been approved for bipolar disorder treatment. This medication is used to treat manic and mixed episodes. The brand name Trileptal XR is a generic drug.
Lithium and valproate are used to treat manic and mixed episodes.
Treatment of bipolar disorder with trileptal or other medications should be considered if other treatments are not effective. In particular, people with bipolar disorder should be closely monitored by a health care professional to ensure they receive proper medical care. This can include medical treatment for depression, or medical care for bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder can also be caused by a genetic or neurological condition. For example, lithium is a mood stabilizer, and valproate is a mood stabilizer.
Treatment of bipolar disorder with lithium or valproate is usually not effective in treating manic symptoms.
Bipolar disorder can be caused by several factors, such as a genetic or neurological condition. Bipolar disorder is usually caused by a combination of the following conditions:
There is also some evidence that certain medications are associated with a greater risk of developing bipolar disorder than others. Some medications are also associated with a higher risk of bipolar disorder than others.
