Actually, I'm taking Celexa and Trileptal. I've upped the dose of the Trileptal to 1200 mg, and it seems to be keeping my cycling at bay -- in fact, I've had a pretty good week. But I also feel a fit spaced out, and not quite as sharp with regard to my memory. (My memory is typically awesome.)
So, it's not like I have a major complaint on the medicine, except for breaking out in acne and feeling out of shape! I just want to keep all options open.
I will not take an AP. Period. I consider them chemical lobotomies.
On another note, does going up on Trileptal add any benefit? 1200 mg seems to be working, although I find myself a little bit obsessive still. Could I expect to get more benefit at a higher dose?
Thanks
