Bipolar I, although the main symptom causing me to get the I v. the II diagnosis is some psychosis re: my health: freaking out about, say, bumping my head, and actually feeling "out of it" (depressed) because of that.
I would like a medicine that actually made me thinking clearer, instead of making it harder to concentrate. Is this possible with ANY anticonvulsant? I certainly believe at this point that some low dose mood stablizer would help, but I am starting to feel like I've lost my capacity to learn, and it's really freaking me out. Is this a side-effect of the Trileptal, this spaced-out, no-concentration feeling? I was on Lamictal before, and I had some good days on that, but it really agitated me and caused the obsessions I mention above.
I've always taken Celexa and I wonder if any of these medicines have actually lessened its effect or increased its metabolic half-life, perhaps making it less effective.
