In reply to What is considered a tiny dose of Trileptal?, posted by Lawrence S. on December 21, 2002, at 22:14:48
> I have mild mood swings and do'nt want to overdo the trileptal. All the other mood stabilizers ended up making me worse. I'd like to stick to the minimum mood stabilizing dose or lower so that it does'nt make me depressed. I'm currently taking 600mg in the evening.
> Lawrence S.I am only taking 150mg /day. I have taken up to 300mg/day, but I get nauseated from meds real easily and I couldn't stomach it. 600mg of Trileptal translates into approx. 400mg of Tegretol daily and that is a common dose for bipolar. Maybe the dose you are on is the right one and you don't need to increase it any more?
