Is the patient being treated for epilepsy or Bipolar Affective Disorder?

If the usage is for epilepsy, trust your doctor about dosage.

As to the off-label usage, few drugs for the treatment of Bipolar Affective Disorder have been proven to the FDA to be safe and effective in the treatment of Bipolar patients below age 18. Trileptal IS NOT one of the drugs proven to be safe and effective.

Questions to ask your child's doctor;

-Why this drug? Are there other options? If so, have they been proven safe and effective in this age group?

-How can we know that your diagnosis is correct? Ten years old is exceptionally young (statistically extremely unlikely) for an onset of Bipolar Affective Disorder?
