Just to put another plug in for Trileptal... I have been on it for awhile now and haven't experienced any side effects when titrating up SLOWLY. Initially, my pdoc had me jumping up too fast and I expereinced dizziness and extreme nausea. After backing down and working up 150 x 2 per day for approx. 5 days, I reached 1200 mg. Worked wonders for the depression but I was still cycling from anxiety/agitation to a hyponmanic state. I dropped the Strattera, am on a low dose of Zoloft, and so far, so good.
I hope this works for you and keep us posted.
