My 14 year old daughter has had Lupus now for 18 months. I am curious as to whether anyone with Lupus has ever taken Trileptal before. Ashley took it for about 4 years for childhood seizures and was off it for about 15 months before being DX with SLE. Just curious. The drug manufacturer denies this is related, however it is right in their pamphlet that this is a side effect. Only one doctor we have seen agrees with me that this could be related. I am taking this upon myself to investigate! Thanks!!

I've not heard of this drug. I'm sorry.

14 years old with Lupus. That bites! And especially SLE!

When my oldest daughter was about 16, she had a friend that was diagnosed with Lupus. Hers was Discoid though. She would now be about 22 or so. She seems to be doing quite well. Just stays out of the sun, etc. She's kinda worried about having children though. Cause sometimes, that will bring out the SLE.

Good talking with you. I hope that someone here has heard of this drug and gets back with you.
