Wow, thank you so much Scott. Yes, the Trileptal is helping, but my husband told me today that I was manic. Had to supplement with Klonopin. I have permission from my pdoc to go up further than 600mg of Trileptal if I need to.
I'm not wild about Geodon, I think it's just a weird med. In time, once stable on Trileptal and the impending depression hits, I may be able to switch to a low dose of Lamictal for depression. Lamictal did nothing for my stability, but did help with depression & ADD. Plus, maybe Lamictal is safer at 50mg than any dose of Geodon.
Adderall is probably not a good choice for my depression because it makes me hypomanic. Maybe with enough Trileptal it could work for my depression & ADD.
Thank you for your input.
Getting off Trileptal in July was a really stupid thing on my part. The mania has been great, until the rage hit.
