When he had the psychotic reaction to trileptal, was he taking any other meds at the time?
I would have to agree with med empowered, if he has bipolar the best think would probably to just take a mood stabilizer.
I would discontinue the other meds, and perhaps try just depakote or just lithium.
Consider adding omega-3 fatty acids (with standardized EPA/DHA content) to his mix since there is growing literature of their use in bipolar unipolar and ADHD.
Try not to have him on too many drugs at once since this will likely make the prognosis worse.
Best of luck, and keep in touch.
