Thanks, Matt!
I went ahead and tried the 100 mg last night, and it didn't affect me at all (that's a good thing.) If it did affect me, it gave me MORE energy. I couldn't get to sleep, and ended up having to take Klonapin to sleep.I'm wondering now if I should try 200 mg. -- I'll call the pdoc on that today.
How much trileptal do you take? Are the dosages the same as with tegretol?
Thanks so much for responding!

> Well I am on trileptal, close relative to tegretol, but they are almost identical, both chemically and pharmacologically. It has helped me with depression probably even more so than with mania. It also helped with agitation while actually giving me a bit of a boost! I have heard/read similar things from others on either drug. And 100mg should be ok, even in sensitive people.
