[QUOTE="pnuts, post: 102192, member: 4211"] Just a thought... Trileptal can cause hyponatremia (or low sodium levels). Sodium levels should be checked periodically while taking this medication. Excessive heat, exercise, sweating etc. naturally make us lose some salt,trileptal can exacerbate this. Low sodium levels can cause irritablilty so it is probably worth asking doctor to obtain a sodium level to make sure that it is within normal limits. Be sure to give difficult child lots of gatoratde etc. during periods of increased physical activity and heat exposure to minimize this side effect. My own difficult child takes trileptal and had a problem last summer with the sodium issue... [/QUOTE]
