But then the afternoon rolls around, and I hit a huge depression, where I'm bed bound. then night rolls around, and there is some semi normalcy. doesn't matter what dose, or when I dose. Any other alternatives to this drug that might act the same (sodium channels?), and no, i suck on lamictal. Basically I'm horrible on all meds, and am at my wits end. UGH!

>Thanks bulldog.
I found if i split it up into 3 smaller doses, 3x 150mgs, and took provigil with the mid day dose, the depression was lessened.
I actually just finished a series of 6 ect treatments, for psychosis unresponsive to medications, and it helped some, i would like more, but can't afford it.
Is there a particular reason why my PDOC is now AVIDLY against putting me on trileptal, or perhaps he said we wouldn't talk about it til next week.
Is the brain already adjusting and creating it's own antiseizure mechanisms? But i have the trileptal RX, and it helps, so why do i wait til next week?
