Yes....: It could. But there are many other medical and mental health issues that can affect mood. He should inform his treating provider of changes in mood to see if he needs modifications in his current treatment, including evaluation for mental health concerns.

Is Trileptal approved by the fda to be a mood stabilizer?
1 doctor answer • 3 doctors weighed in
Dr. Carla Enriquezanswered
Pediatrics 50 years experience
Not yet: Trileptal is used as a mood stabilizer "off label" from fda approved uses. This doesn't mean it's not effective, it means the fda hasn't seen enough research to approve its use as a mood stabilizer. Many clinicians have seen benefits from Trileptal in stabilizing mood. Ultimately it's up to your doctor consulting with you to chose the best medication for your individual problem.

How to lessen one's mood swings off meds?
1 doctor answer • 3 doctors weighed in
Dr. Lisa Saponaroanswered

Why off meds?: Practice good coping skills and self care. Exercise can help with depressed mood and sleep is critical to keeping mood stable. Utilize psychotherapy - cbt in particular has been shown to be effective with the treatment of mood disorders. If you were previously on medications for mood stabilization i would want to know why you are now off them and are you under a doctors care?
