> Tegretol was added to my therapy about 3 wks ago...could it be the culprit?? Thanks.
> KatHI Kat...I haven't taken Tegretol...BUT I was put on Trileptal at one point because my doctor said my Lamictal wasn't enough to prevent mania. The problem is , Trileptal made me so depressed I had to discontinue it after 2 weeks. I imagine Tegretol could do the same, and I say if you've already tried it for 3 weeks and its still making you depressed, maybe time to try something else? Feel better soon! herpills
