Trileptal... Christ is right, it definitely has more of a taming effect as it acts on the temporal lobe. I'm currently on it and what I LOVE is that I have an ability to control my temper. Whatever I'm feeling at the moment doesn't take over and blow... I have this sort of "judgement" now where I can tell how important something is and how much of a reaction it warrants. My parents say I am much more pleasant to be around and I'm getting more attention from my family because I'm less likely to spaz. Also I've noticed that I don't take a lot of things the wrong way anymore.
So I would try it again.. yea I know about the start-up depression, I think that can be attributed to the fact that trileptal increases serotonin release in certain areas of the brain. You guys know SSRIs are likely to make you feel more depressed before they start to help (if they do)... it's just a matter of your receptors getting used to the serotonin increase.
I've been on it almost 4 months
