hey! Don't fret. Trileptal doses vary wildly, and some people take only 300mgs while others take 2400+. Since its much, MUCH safer than Tegretol, you don't have to worry as much about toxicity. The big problem would be nausea, possibly vomiting; long-term, higher doses might lead to unusually low sodium levels, which can cause cognitive problems, but I doubt that will be a problem for you. So...my advice would be to just taper back down to what your doc RX'd for you...you can do it immediately or do it over a couple days if you prefer. And I hear you on dosage changes with drugs...it can be really, really confusing, so don't worry about having made a mistake...just check your bottles more carefully next time. Good luck!
