Bob,
I am taking Trileptal (like Tegretol without the side effects) 600mg a.m. and 1200 mg p.m. and Geodon 40 mg a.m. and p.m., along with 75mg Lamictal. I am still titrating up on the Lamictal to 100mg. I'll stay there long enough to see if it's giving me enough lift from the depressive part of my illness and more mood stabilization.
The Trileptal was helping tremendously but I was still cycling into hypomania in the afternoons and early evenings - the reason for adding Lamictal. This could have been caused, in part, by the Adderall, which I have almost dropped completely with the addition of Lamictal. I must be the most rapid cycler of all time, going through a very predictable cycle every day, lately.
