I found my sweet spot. I can only tolerate 75mg of Lamictal for my depression. If I go higher I get manic.
450mg of Trileptal is perfect. If I go to 600mg I get depressed.
So, I have to use de-caff coffee in the morning and stick with this regime.
I have tried going to 100mg of Lamictal and 600mg of Trileptal, but I experience too many mood fluctuations - depression, hypo-mania.
I am a low dose gal. Plus I always have 1mg - 2mg of Klonopin to use as needed, but with the Trileptal it seems like I don't need the klonopin.
I have been using 50mg of Seroquel for sleep, but the 300mg of Trileptal at night makes me sleepy and I think I can cut back or cut out the seroquel soon.
Things are good now, thank goodness. Long road.
