just a note, world fa-mouse pdoc said, AE or MS (mood stablizers-try that on a search) help moderate the highs and may or may not help the lows. some times that is when lamictical is used...YMMV. Encouraging you to keep doc posted.

> I'm sure there have been discussions on this in the past, but a search on "antiepileptic" and "depression" turns up nothing pertinent. Anyway, I've been on Trileptal for about a week, and am tolorating it pretty well, but I feel like my depression is worse. I've only had one violent temper tantrum this week, and I feel "calmer", but I also just feel "lower" in the mood department. Not really motivated to leave the house or to do anything. Eating, sleeping and checking this board are about the only things I can bring myself to do. Could this "lowering" be the Trileptal?
