Matt,
I do hope that the trileptal hasnt' stopped working for you......
How did you know that you didn't need an antidepressant anymore?
I have read about the possibility of an AD worsening things (theory,not gospel ;-) ), so I have played around with the thought of going off wellbutrin if the newly prescribed trileptal seems to help with depression.
I'm not sure if ads ever really have done anything for me....I think the other things you mentioned - situational things, have always been what has made things better...Best of luck and thanks for a post with such perspective.

Although it MIGHT have stopped working recently, trileptal was excellent for me for a long time. Didnt need antidepressants anymore (which Im sure youve read can worsen things in the long run, and is true for me), wasnt dulling, didnt gain weight, actually helped motivation, only side effect was initial nausea.
