> I just started taking Trileptal replacing my standard low dose of Depakote. I did have initial somnolence after taking a 150mg dose but then things changed. I noticed more energy, maybe slight edginess, but definitely no anxiety or hypomania. Although Depakote has proven itself to be effective for me I want to get away from sluggishness and apathy which is a recurring problem due to the drug. This drug could be a promising replacement in my case. No GABA work just channel work. Only time will tell. JNWhat dose of Depakote were you taking and which version, regular or ER?
I was thinking about trying a low dose for inner restlessness and headaches, but the fat, bald and tired side effects I keep hearing about from people taking it are scaring my a bit. What about cognitive issues at low doses, any problems?
Also, did it make you edgy at all? I tried Topamax once and it made me a little edgy, uncomfortable, lost weight and felt dumber than a box of rocks.
