Hi,
Thanks for your concern :).
About the Klonopin if I had to go above 4mg daily then the side effects oh exuse me s/e :) would not be worth the use of the medication. That was why I was wondering if Xanax was any better.
About the Trileptal and helping depression (I guess) if you was to have depression with alot of anxiety or aggression. Trileptal when it is used in psychiatric medicine is used as a mood stabilizer usually with people with bi-polar disorder. But doctors prescribe it for a wide range of things. It is actually a newer version of the medication Tegretol. It just has less side effects than Tegretol.
When a doc. gives me something to take I tend to look it up and find out about it as much as I can. That is how I know about Trileptal.
The side effects for me was headache, blurry vision, etc. But they tend to go away after a while. A rare but dangerous side effect that my nuerologist told me about the med is that it could cause a drop in blood sodium levels. So, you have to get your blood checked ever now and then to make sure everthing is ok.
If you don't mind me asking what are your med doses and do they help you?
Oh by the way I do not have the kind of OCD where you worry about germs and contaminaton and stuff. It is a different kind :).
Hope to here from ya soon.
