> Really tell me more if you can as my pdoc seems to think it will help anxiety. I've taken a small does l50mg before and no side effects but expensive so wondering if I should go back on it? Love Phillipa

Hi, its me again. I had to create a new ID because
there was a problem with my "christmas" ID.

Anyways, regarding Trileptal...

I take the following meds for Bipolar 1/Schizoaffective Disorders:

Zoloft 200mg
Geodon
Trileptal 350 mg BID
Campral
Clozapine 300 mg

The meds do an OK job treating the depressions
and mood swings.

I just added Trileptal in place of Lamictal because I thought it would help more with anxiety.
Unfortunately the Zoloft isn't treating my anxiety
at all.

The first time I took the intial Trileptal doses
(at 350 mgs), I felt a *very strong* anti-anxiety
effect. This strong effect lasted for a few hours
and then died down some. Since then I sometimes
get the same effect.

How does the Trileptal work? Who knows, maybe
it works synergistically with the other meds like
the zoloft to get more bang from that med.

To summarize, overall I feel less anxious. However, I wouldn't say its in the same league as
taking a strong benzo like Klonopin.

Regards,
James
