""http://www.psycheducation.org/depression/meds/trileptal.htm""
From the same link:
"This medication may be for people whose symptoms are not severe; who do not need to see improvement right now; or who need to add something to an existing set of medications. It could be an appropriate starting place for someone has a lot of manic-side symptoms -- sleep problems, irritability, agitation -- but whose symptoms are not currently severe. By comparison, if the symptoms were more on the depressive side -- low energy, low motivation, sleeping a lot, everything looks negative -- lamotrigine appears from current data to be a better choice with similarly few side effects"
It seems clear to me that Trileptal is a poor choice for "bipolar depression". I would not waiste my time on it.
