> well, the other symptom im looking to improve upon is my irritablitly and anger that pops up frequently. typically i also find myself in a sh*tty mixed state where im depressed and pissed off. wondering if trileptal would be better than the lamictal in terms of the irritability?
I think the Trileptal would ve likely to help with the irritability and anger (these two are more closely tied to the manic side of bipolar disorder; Trileptal works well on the manic side), but I wouldn't expect it to do much for depression. If you're taking Lamictal and T3, I'd think you're more likely to be leaning toward the anger/irritability side. How's your sleep? Maybe Trileptal and an AD would work well for you? If you don't want to take a prescription AD, I think at least one person here is mixing a prescription MS with St. John's Wort.
