Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) is an antiseizure medication that is similar to Tegretol (carbemazapine) but is generally considered safer. One of the benefits is that Trileptal may help as a mood stabilizer without causing significant weight gain. Some potential negative side effects include a reduction in the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, a reduction in sodium levels, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sedation, clumsiness, and poor coordination.
