hi all-
seeing a new pdoc tomorrow and I'm pretty certain I'm going to need a mood stabilizer added to the mix. in the past, Trileptal & Tegretol (seemed) to work best for me, but I wasn't on either for very long. It's my understanding that Tegretol is hard on the liver, but please correct me if I'm wrong. There are many ms's/ac's I haven't tried (including lithium), but of those I did, lamictal wasn't good (surprising as depression is the worst of all my symptoms), depakote was horrible and topomax made my anxiety shoot through the roof. Ap's in general aren't good for me.
So, as far as stabilizers go, feedback? Anyone on Trileptal or Tegretol? I'm currently taking 20 mg of Lexapro (either going to go down on this or switch to something else) and 100 mg of tramadol (it has been working wonders on my depression BUT my anxiety is up).
thanks in advance,
b
