> 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.
>i didnt realize that the anger/irritability was associated with mania.
i think the lamictal is pretty much a bust. ill wean off it and think ill try trileptal and then, if that doesnt work, give neurontin a shot.
maybe ill go for xyrem as well.
