Trileptal...False sense of well being

i'm not sure, but all i know is that it's not true for me. i take trileptal and i definatly don't have a false sense of well being. i cry i feel horrible, but i can feel happy, but not falsely. but that's wierd. now i want 2 kno.

The only thing I can think of as far as a "false sense of well being" goes possibly has to do with actually feeling good on the medication ... let me explain: I was on Keppra and Topamax for a little over three years, before that I was on Depakote for a long time. I went through some major emotional upheaval coinciding with my switch to Keppra/Topamax, and not only did I lose tremendous amounts of weight, I looked and felt like doo-doo. My seizures also changed. Now that I am on Trileptal, I feel a helluva lot better, so much so that I seem to "forget" I'm an epileptic; I take my feeling-good for granted. I have to watch it and not partake in activities that would put my health at further risk. I don't know how else to explain it, but the statement "false sense of well-being" made sense to me because of my circumstances. Everyone's different!I hope this helped a little...and I hope you're doing well!Megan
