Trileptal has always induced morning hypomania for me. If I stop taking it, it would go away. And then like I mentioned, if I dose twice a day of trileptal, i hit a depression in the afternoon like now, then would typically hit a semi normalcy at night. I wonder about 3 doses a day.
Yes, bipolar drugs make me bipolar. Lamictal induces mixed moods in me. I could name numerous others. I have opposite reactions to all drugs, hence wanting off them. ADs make me depressed and more obsessional etc.
Perhaps I should just take the lyrica and the valium.
By not work with me like this, was after my ect, i asked for us to try trileptal, and he said no, no, no. he just put me back on xanax. Xanax alone, i can get nothing done in this world. I added some trileptal on my own account, and then of course with some hypomania, i can do some normal functioning, i can email, correspond with friends, apply for jobs etc. So he wouldn't work with me if i'm adding things on my own.
So i asked if we could raise trileptal from 600 to 900, maybe go 300 tid to see if it rids the mid day depression, and he was adimate about me not taking it.
Says just take the lyrica for a week, and be on the benzo.
Lyrica alone, i would not get swings, or hypomania, basically just high, happy, and stoned, but i could probably function.
So my dilema is to listen to him, and drop the trileptal, or go on my own accord, and up the trileptal to 900 tomorrow.
Trileptal in the past did help in benzo wd.
Trileptal was a drug that allowed me to read and concentrate in situations that are generally tough for me.
So choices, choices, choices.
I could just do the lyrica and valium, or have the trileptal in there.
What would you do?
