In reply to Low doses of Trileptal? Success?, posted by katia on April 10, 2004, at 17:45:36
I always seem to respond to lower doses than typical therapeutic doses myself. I am taking 450mg Trileptal right now, but I thought I felt pretty good at 300. My docs always seem to want to keep stepping doses up, I guess from that school of thought that you keep going up until you get bad effects, and then you back off to last dosage. Anybody out there able to explain this?
I think: Why not take the lowest dose that makes you feel better. Then, if you have to go up, you've got plenty of room to work with.
