> Sheila does your doc know about the palpatations and is your heart okay? If so are you using the respidol as a sleep aid, antipsychotic, or stabalizer as trileptal is a mood stabalizer . What's your diagnosis? Love Phillipa
I have BP II. I can't take Lamictil - bad reaction to it. Last night I tried 150mg of Trileptal and so far, no heart palps.
I read in the side effects for Risperdal that heart palps and such can be side effects. I can't deal with that. I don't want to feel like I'm going to have a stroke or heart attack. Besides, I think (I don't know) that maybe the anti-seizure meds like Trileptal may be safer than the anti-psychotics.
Also, Abilify and Risperdal gave me such water retention. I'm sure taking Estrogen dosen't help that either. But, maybe Trileptal will help with that and I won't get the water retention (salt retention) that I do with the anti-psychotics.
