Specific electrolyte products or other tips would be extremely helpful. 

My psych is having me try Trileptal again because it’s the best at stabilizing my mood. However, the last time I took it I started getting symptoms about 3 weeks in—extreme thirst, muscle weakness, confusion, I was slurring and mixing up my words—no bueno. Super disappointing because other than that it worked like a charm. 

If it’s relevant, I also experienced loss of appetite and insomnia when I last tried Trileptal, which caused me to undereat and lose quite a bit of weight. So maybe if I make sure to enough this time I’ll be okay? 

Anyways, any tips would be great. I really wanna make this med work
