About a year ago, Trileptal was slowly added and Lamictal slowly removed. It's worked super well(my issues are different...but the concept here is 2 different anti-C meds, right :))
I did try to remove the Neurontin lately---I felt it was dulling me down. I then had a resurgence of anxiety, racing thoughts, etc. So I'm back on it at a lower dose, and for now, doing better.
Tepi---what effect "can't you stand"? for me it was mental dullness, lethargy. Some of those are dose related imo.
It's worth a try, mingling 2 AC but at lower doses for each....titrating slowly to get a good effect has worked best for me.
Hope you are having a good day,
SC
