Hey Chris,
Yes, I have taken a small dose of anti-psychotic to get me stable at one time. I really didn't like that, but it did calm me, which is what I needed. The Trileptal works ok (900 mgs right now too), but it is messing with my body...meaning, it causes extra enzymes in the liver, which metabolize drugs faster, so I *think* my thyroid medication needs to be doubled, and it also metabolizes estrogen faster, so both of those things are causing weight gain and are worrying to me and that's why I am looking to switch. I am wondering if I really need a mood stabilizer if I don't get hypo or manic unless on an SSRI, or if maybe Klonopin could be used as one.
Thanks for your suggestion. I appreciate it.
Best to you too.
Meg
