I've been having what I think might be a weird side effect from Trileptal...I think it's caused by that somehow because I didn't notice it before I started taking the med. I don't know quite how to explain this...I quite often feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen...not like I'm short of breath, but like I need to take a really deep breath..like when you yawn and it turns into a deep inhalation or you're taking a breath and you feel like you need to take a bigger breath. And when I do take a big breath, I feel like I really needed that big breath...like I feel refreshed that I got that extra bit of oxygen. I think this happens to everyone once in a while but it's happening all day long several times an hour. It's happened several times just since I sat down to type this (probably because I'm thinking about it, but it really happens with about as much frequency when I'm not actively thinking about it) I'm yawning all the time regardless of how much sleep I get. Is this my imagination or some kind of hypochondriac thing or has anyone else experienced something like this? It's not a big problem but people comment on me yawning all the time.
